The Butterfly Count is an ongoing program of the North American Butterfly Association (NABA) to conduct a census the butterflies of North America (United States, Canada and parts of Mexico) and to publish the results. Volunteer participants are assigned a count area with a 15-mile diameter. The volunteers conduct a one-day census of all butterflies sighted within that circle. Volunteers are encouraged to attend the butterfly identification webinar on Sept 3 (FREE for NVBA Members; $10 for non-members). Volunteers of all experience levels are welcome! Every team will be led by an expert. Participants are encouraged to stay with their team for the duration of the event. This count is organized by Larry Meade. Deadline to register is Thursday, September 12 at 9:00 PM.
