The annual National Butterfly Recorders’ Meeting provides the latest information on butterfly populations and trends from the national recording and monitoring schemes, new research findings from scientists and news and feedback from butterfly enthusiasts across the UK. This year, we are delighted and very privileged to have Professor Jeremy Thomas OBE from Oxford University as our guest speaker.

Following the success of the biodiversity data management tools workshops that were run in London and Edinburgh last year, this is another chance to take part in hands-on interactive sessions to learn about Indicia, the NBN Gateway and Record Cleaner.   This workshop also includes a lot of brand new content, with demonstrations of new tools and software for the management of habitat and land use data, the use of web services in Local Record Centre applications and a variety of systems for online data management.
