Butterfly counts and simple observations help us to determine local and regional pollinator health, whhich helps us to develop appropriate pollinator conservation strategies. We also use these events to help us all to get to know butterflies, other pollinators, and native plants. We will help you to learn more about birds, dragonflies, native plants, and to observe and see the importance of biodiversity. Please enjoy your sightings, and feel free to submit photos and or observations to this website by using the contact form below.. If you would like us to help you establish a count, submit information on the contact form below.
