Butterfly Walk

Tom Peterson will lead a butterfly walk tomorrow, Friday, July 31 at noon, beginning at the Margaret Pearson Interpretive Trail. Plan on a 45-minute walk and the potential for mud and mosquitos.




Some possible butterflies: pearly eyes (photo), little blue spring azures, eastern commas, tiger swallowtails and more!
