Our 15th annual Sullivan County Butterfly Count.
(Rain date July 6th.) We cover the same 15-mile circle as our
Christmas count. If you are an experienced butterflier we need
your help. Don’t know your butterflies? That’s
OK because every set of eyes are valuable to us as spotters.
Results for both counts go to the North American Butterfly
Association for study and research. Contact leader Renee Davis
by Sunday June 29 so she can plan and assign routes. For more
information, call her at 482-5044 before 8 pm. |

Volunteers are needed for the 6th annual Halls Mills
Butterfly Count (rain date July 9th). The center
of our 15-mile diameter circle is the Hall’s Mills
covered bridge just south of Claryville. Areas covered include
Frost Valley to the Neversink Reservoir, Divine Corners,
Grahamsville and Sundown. Participants can join a team, be
a garden watcher or allow your butterfly habitat to be counted.
If you can identify butterflies we need you, but anyone with
eyes can be a part of this fun-filled event. For information
call leader Stu Alexander at 985-2485. |
