Please join us on Sunday, July 7th at our Marshalls Corner Preserve to help count butterflies. We will be walking the trail through the restored meadow and looking for these flying beauties as we go. Once we are done at Marshalls Corner, we will head over to Baldpate Mountain to search the restored meadow there. No experience is necessary.

If you plan to join us, meet at the Marshalls Corner Preserve on Route 654 at 9AM on Sunday, July 7. For questions, email bcraighead@fohvos.org.

This event is in partnership with the North American Butterfly Association (NABA). Every summer, NABA organizes counts across the country to understand the geographical distribution and relative population sizes of butterfly species throughout North America. FoHVOS has participated in these counts since 2012, to understand the butterfly communities on our preserves. To date, we have counted 1,498 butterflies representing 47 species!
