Big Butterfly Count
Adult butterflies and their caterpillars are food for many creatures such as birds. Butterflies also help to pollinate plants. Many caterpillars can only feed on specific native host plants. Because of this close relationship with plants, butterflies can be an indicator of the environmental health of an area. Butterfly observations will be made from the track network and forest edges. Wear sun-smart clothing and closed-toe shoes. Help build the understanding of which butterflies call the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve rainforest habitat home while building your observation and identification skills, on Friday, November 17. For more info see Eventbrite.
