10th Annual Butterfly Count Sunday June 10- All Day
It is that time of year again. Time to see what butterflies are still out in those dry forests and grasslands. Dr. Powell has been counting butterflies at the Big Creek Reserve for 19 years, and this is our 10th year. We are pleased to invite anyone interested in accompanying the group to meet at mile marker 26, Carmel Valley Road at about 9:00am. Bring a butterfly book, binoculars that focus in close, a day pack, water, lunch, hat, wear sturdy walking shoes and expect to walk a couple of miles along the trails and roads of Hastings. This is a great opportunity to be in the field with some of California's best butterfly experts. You can learn about the local butterflies the best way possible; seeing them in the hands of experts and on the wing in their natural habitat.
