Butterfly monitoring held Fridays

0

GREENVILLE — Darke County Parks needs help! Butterfly habitat is declining, and scientists need to monitor their populations closely.

Every Friday at 2 p.m. from now through September, join a naturalist to hike a pre-set path and record all the butterflies observed. These numbers will then be sent on to the Ohio Lepidopterists for scientific study. There’s no need to be an expert.

A staff member will be present for the hike, and field guides will be provided. Hikes will occur as long as temperatures are above 60 without rain.
