Help with butterfly conservation by serving as a citizen scientist on the fall NABA count.

The Butterfly Count is an ongoing program of the North American Butterfly Association (NABA) to census the butterflies of North America (United States, Canada and partially 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 can either sign up for a live <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fall-butterfly-identification-with-larry-meade-tickets-402691590387" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">butterfly identification webinar</a> with Larry Meade on Thursday, Sept 15 or request a video from last session for free by emailing tina@audubonva.org. 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. A tally rally will take place at 4:00 PM at Belle Haven Pizzeria at 1401 Belle Haven Road, Alexandria, Virginia 22307. This count is organized by Larry Meade. Deadline to register is Thursday, Sept 15 at 9:00 PM so you can be assigned to a team on Friday. Teams will each meet at their designated count locations.
