The workshop will cover field identification of butterflies and skippers and the host plants and habitats they need and love.

The material has been upgraded and expanded from what was used in previous Workshop.

Participation in the workshop will be limited to 75 folks.  Please let Jeff Wright know if you are interested and he will make sure you are on the invitation to the Zoom event on 13 June.
