Please join us for this annual event by helping to census the varied and abundant butterfly species at the spectacular Cal-Wood Education Center. We welcome back our seasoned observers as well as those of you wanting to learn. Folks will be divided into teams that will cover the various habitats starting at 8:00 a.m. We will finish by 5 PM, including the census plus data compilation. Children are welcome with parents or chaperones versed in outdoor ethics.  More details will be provided to registered participants.

Please contact Pam Piombino for details and to reserve your spot.
