Jay Area Butterfly Blitz

Scientists want to know what kind of butterflies live near you. Come join a team from the Vermont Center for Ecostudies and the Vermont Land Trust for a day of butterflying near Jay, VT. This is a great opportunity to meet other nature lovers and learn about butterflies in the field with the experts. No experience necessary—just an interest in butterflies! All ages welcome, but minors must be accompanied by an adult.

We will meet at the Jay Community Recreational Centre at 10 am to select teams and travel in groups to various sites in the Jay, Richford, and Montgomery area to conduct butterfly surveys for the Second Vermont Butterfly Atlas. We will have options for low intensity (roadside surveys, minimal walking) or medium intensity (1 – 3 miles of walking).

Grab a friend or come alone and join us for all or part of the day. Relax with us afterwards at a local coffee shop (TBD!) to celebrate our finds.
