OWLS (Older Wiser Livelier Souls) - Iowa Butterfly Survey Network

Event Summary

Join Anita Westphal, Assistant Curator of the Christina Reiman Butterfly Wing, to learn about one of the longest running citizen science programs in the state of Iowa. The Iowa Butterfly Survey Network (IBSN), based at Reiman Gardens since 2006, aims to promote butterfly conservation and education in Iowa. IBSN's citizen science program provides volunteers with training on survey techniques specifically designed for butterfly monitoring, allowing them to collect valuable data on the presence and abundance of butterfly species in Iowa. By engaging volunteers in this effort, IBSN aims to raise awareness of the importance of butterfly conservation and inspire people to take an active role in protecting these important pollinators.

Doors will open at 10:00AM for coffee/tea and chatting.  Program runs 10:30-11:30AM.  

Free program. No registration necessary.
