Glanville fritillary
The Glanville fritillary can be spotted on warm days around coastal habitats on the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands, as well as at a few locations in mainland England.

Communities and nature
Bringing nature into communities with projects, useful resources and support in order to enable more people to connect with nature.

The live well with nature programme formed as a partnership between Shropshire Wildlife Trust and Telford & Wrekin Council but has sadly now ended. If you would like to improve health & wellbeing through conservation activities please search your local area and the words 'conservation volunteer' as there are over 20 groups active across Telford operating on Telford & Wrekin’s many local nature reserves and green spaces.
