Butterfly Counts
The Pollinator Conservation Association conducts, hosts, or consults, on Butterfly Counts. For summer 2017 results, CLICK HERE
You can participate by attending events, or counting on your own. We are encouraging individuals or groups to host your own counts and observations.
We are encouraging Butterfly counts, simple observations, and want to use this to help you get to know your butterflies. Other than the July 4 NABA registered count, we are casting a broad net here. We want to help you identify butterflies and other pollinators, and we are encouraging you to learn about birds, dragonflies, native plants, and whatever else you find, observe and see outdoors. Please enjoy your sightings, and feel free to submit photos and or observations. If you would like us to help you establish a count, submit information on the contact form below. We plan to conduct a variety of citizen science based inventories in the coming seasons that will include both fauna and flora. This will help us to understand what we have and where it is.
Stay tuned for future orientations and count/inventory events. We will help participants learn how to count and observe on their own. The 2017 schedule of formal orientation and counts events is listed below. Additional counts and orientations will be announced on the PCA Facebook page and here. If you would like to help please use the contact form below.
We have a registered North American Butterfly Association July 4 Count based on a circle 15 miles in radius as identified in the map pictured below. Only the July 4 registered count is required to be within this circle. We are conducting and encouraging counts, in other locations throughout the month of July. You can participate in one of our organized activities, or you can conduct your own count. Please consider using our contact form below to let us know what you are finding.
