BUTTERFLIES ARE RETURNING TO RHODE ISLAND, 
WHICH MEANS THE BUTTERFLY COUNT IS NOT FAR AWAY!




butterflyIt is that time of year again and we hope that we can count on your continued participation in this year's count.  

Below is a link to our list of survey sites across Rhode Island.  Please take a minute to review the list and confirm via email those sites that you will be surveying this summer.  Unfortunately quite a few sites were not surveyed in recent years, so if you are able, please consider signing up to survey an additional site (or two!).



 2016 Butterfly Counts:
 This year's butterfly counts will take place on the following dates:
 East Bay Circles: June 25th
West Bay Circles: July 23rd
Please contact Jon with any scheduling conflicts: jscoones@asri.org or 401-245-7500 Ext.3044.
 

Fees & Recognition:
Please note that NABA charges Audubon RI a fee to have your name appear in their annual report.  (NABA's report is separate from Audubon's report, for which there is a link above.)

If you would like your name to appear in NABA's 2016 Butterfly Count Report please send a check in the amount of $5.00 to:
Audubon Society of Rhode Island
Attn: NABA 2016 Butterfly Count
12 Sanderson Road, Smithfield, RI 02917

Thank you again for your continued support and dedication to 
the annual Rhode Island Butterfly Count!
