Anyone who loves butterflies and is interested in conservation and science is invited to join Nebraska's Big Butterfly Count Virtual Training Workshop. The free training is at 6 p.m. Central Time April 8 and 10 via Zoom.
Attendance on both dates and one
associated field day is required.
Nebraska's Big Butterfly Count is a
community science project designed to collect statewide data to better understand butterfly diversity across Nebraska. Volunteers are needed to conduct a survey at least once every other week from May 1 through Sept. 30.
These virtual trainees then may participate in the in-person field training at 1 p.m. April 19 in Norfolk at the Nebraska Game and Parks Northeast District Office. They will receive resources, walk through a mock survey and receive further direction on data collection and submission.
