SUMMARY:Brunswick Area Butterfly Blitz
DESCRIPTION:Let’s go look for butterflies! \nScientists want to know what kind of butterflies live near you. Come join a team from the Vermont Center for Ecostudies and the NorthWoods Stewardship Center for a day of butterflying near Brunswick\, VT. This is a great opportunity to meet other nature lovers and learn about butterflies in the field with the experts. No experience necessary—just an interest in butterflies! All ages welcome\, but minors must be accompanied by an adult. \nWe will meet at the NorthWoods Stewardship Center at 10 am to select teams and travel in groups to various sites in the Brunswick and Ferdinand area to conduct butterfly surveys for the Second Vermont Butterfly Atlas. We will have options for low intensity (roadside surveys\, minimal walking) or medium intensity (1 – 3 miles of walking). \nGrab a friend or come alone and join us for all or part of the day. \n  \nRegister Here
