Over 100 species of butterflies inhabit the Cascade-Siskiyou region. Gain an appreciation for the diversity of Cascade-Siskiyou butterflies, a keener eye to see them with, the ability to recognize common species, and get hands-on practice observing, netting, and identifying in the field. After a first day classroom introduction to butterflies – what they are, what they do, and the array of local species – we will carpool to the field daily to seek out the butterflies of the Illinois Valley and Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. Ages 12+ welcome.
