Friends' groups

Friends' groups are set up to support the work of the service on specific sites. As a member of a Friends' group you will have certain benefits, receive newsletters and be able to get involved in many different things on the site ranging from site management to butterfly surveys.

If you are interested in becoming a Friend, why not join one of these groups?
