NATURE lovers are being invited to help with a Lakes butterfly conservation project.

Rusland Horizons, a three-year landscape partnership in the Rusland Valley, has been busy surveying, monitoring and improving the habits of six endangered species of butterflies and moths.

Now those behind the project are asking the public to get involved in a Wings in the Woods initiative in partnership with wildlife charity Butterfly Conservation.

Participants can submit sightings of butterflies from within the project area via the iRecord Butterflies app, in conjunction with the Big Butterfly Count, which lasts until Sunday.
