Join Vashon’s 17th annual 4th of July Butterfly Count for the North American Butterfly Association, and learn about both butterflies and dragonflies of Vashon-Maury. You do not need to be knowledgeable about species when you start. We’ll teach as we go.
Saturday, July 6, at 10am, meet at the Park’n’Ride lot by the Country Store. Bring binoculars, water, lunch, hat for shade, and multiple layers for varying temperatures. Team participants pay a $3 fee to NABA to cover count administration costs. Come with the roving team for all or part of the day. To find us mid-day, call our cell phone at 718-5770 or 818-5251. The roving team will count till 7:30pm, but you leave whenever you want.
Neighborhood counters are also needed and appreciated.
For more information, or to report your count totals, call Rayna Holtz at 206-463-3153.
