The RHODE ISLAND BUTTERFLY COUNT starts ON SATURDAY and we need your help!

Spend a morning (10:00AM-Noon) in the fields counting butterflies with an Audubon Walk Leader teaching you how to catch and identify them.  It's a great way to help butterflies and have fun outdoors!

On Saturday, June 25th butterfly counts will be held at locations across the East Bay, including the following :

  • Audubon's Nature Center in Bristol
  • Nockum Hill Refuge in Barrington
  • Audubon's Touisset Wildlife Refuge in Warren 
Please click HERE to register.   The $5.00 fee is passed on to the North American Butterfly Association.

On Saturday, July 23rd butterfly counts will be held at locations across the West Bay, including the following:
  • Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge in Charlestown
  • Audubon's Powder Mill Ledges Wildlife Refuge in Smithfield
  • Audubon's Newman Wildlife Refuge in Smithfield - Meet at the Powder Mill Ledges Refuge

Thank you in advance for your help!
