The Cornwall Moth Group was formed on the 17th December, 2001 at the offices of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust.

On Saturday, 25th August 2007, the group met and agreed to elect an organising committee and we now have a Chairman, a Secretary and Treasurer.

Chairman: Tony James

Secretary: Phil Boggis

Treasurer: John Cooke

The group is an independent organization but receives help and administrational backup from the Environmental Records Center for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (ERCCIS). We are also supported by Butterfly Conservation and Cornwall Wildlife Trust.

The main aim of the group is to target specific Cornish sites and the rarer species found here. As well as encouraging more people to record the moths they see.
