Public invited to help with annual butterfly count

The Beaver Creek Wetlands Association will be counting butterfly species on Saturday, July 5 and the public is being invited to help.

The 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. butterfly survey in the Siebenthaler Fen is part of the annual North American Butterfly Association 4th of July Count.

Participants will explore the wetlands, beginning at the boardwalk, identifying and counting butterflies. No experience needed a limited number of nets and field guides will be available on site.

The group will meet at the Siebenthaler Fen parking lot on Fairground Road, just east of Beaver Valley Road.
