Squam Lakes Butterfly Count Field Training

Join Heidi Holman, NH Fish and Game Wildlife Diversity Biologist, for a hands-on field day as we search fields and forests for crescents, blues, sulphurs and other butterflies, learning to identify them by their field marks, flight patterns, and behavior. This is a great opportunity to sharpen your butterfly identification skills before the Squam Lakes Region Butterfly Count on July 8th.

Ages 12 and Up. No cost to participate but advance registration is required. 

Dress for the weather, and come prepared with sun and insect protection, and appropriate outdoor clothing (long pants are recommended for ticks, biting insects, and poison ivy). Helpful items include a field guide, binoculars, camera or smartphone.
