Hike McFarland Park and hunt for butterflies with Reiman Gardens staff. The butterfly survey will serve as a practice session for Iowa Butterfly Survey Network volunteers, but all are welcome. Discover some of Iowa’s beautiful bugs, and learn more about getting involved in a statewide citizen science project. After the survey, check out an insect or pond net and explore additional options for being a volunteer scientist in our parks. Don’t forget to stop by the craft table to make a fun butterfly craft! Be prepared to hike up to a mile during the butterfly survey. The butterfly survey starts at 2:00 p.m.; nets and craft will be available from 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. This program is free and registration is not required.
Please wear clothes that can get dirty. Children under 16 must be supervised by an adult. Event will be canceled in the event of rain.
