North American Butterfly Count

The North American Butterfly Count is an annual citizen science project where volunteers survey specific areas to record butterfly species and numbers. Conducted during designated periods, these counts help track butterfly populations and distribution across the continent. Participants typically walk or observe in selected locations, noting the species and quantity they see. The collected data contributes to understanding trends, identifying declines, and supporting conservation efforts for butterflies and their habitats. This collaborative effort enhances scientific knowledge while engaging communities in ecological stewardship.
