Do you love butterflies?  Are you a community member interested in conservation and science? Then join us for Nebraska’s Big Butterfly Count Training Workshop, Saturday May 3rd 2025, 1PM-5PM at the Crane Trust Nature Center, Wood River

Nebraska’s Big Butterfly Count is a community science project that is designed to collect statewide data in order to better understand butterfly diversity across Nebraska. At this workshop you will learn about community science, how to identify eastern/central Nebraska butterfly species, and learn how you can contribute to Nebraska’s Big Butterfly Count. Participants will receive project resources, guidance, and support from community science project leaders.

We are looking for dedicated volunteers that are willing to conduct a survey at least once every other week, from May1st through September 30th.
