About the Large Blue
The Large Blue is one of the rarest butterflies in the UK and is also a globally endangered species. It was declared extinct in the UK in 1979 but has been successfully reintroduced at sites in Somerset and Gloucestershire as part of a major conservation programme by a cohort of 22 organisations, including Butterfly Conservation.
By taking part in our craftalong, you will be helping us protect species like the Large Blue from becoming extinct.
