Annual Butterfly Count: Let’s Count Butterflies!

The North American Butterfly Association (NABA) has run the Butterfly Count Program in the United States, Canada and Mexico since 1993. The annually published reports provide a tremendous amount of information about the geographical distribution and relative population sizes of the species counted. Comparisons of the results across years can be used to monitor changes in butterfly populations and study the effects of weather and habitat change on North American butterflies.

If you have an interest in butterflies and enjoy being outdoors participating in a great community science program please join us. No experience necessary and all ages are welcome. There is a $3 fee per adult, but Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy members and children under 18 participate for free. Your participation makes a difference!  Registration required.

Learn more about the count (including the map of the count circle) and register here.

Registration for the 2023 Butterfly Count is full.
