Butterfly Tour at Merrimac Farm September 6, 2009

Butterflies are fun and easy to observe. They can be found everywhere from your back yard to stream banks, forests and fields.

Merrimac Farm is a great place to watch butterflies. To date we've sighted two species that are seldom seen in Prince William -the American Snout and Carolina Satyr. Click here to view the entire list.

We'll explore some likely spots, considering what most butterflies like: sunshine and flowers. We'll visit open areas and wander through the dappled light along forest edges, especially where flowers are in bloom.

Open to the public and free of charge. For more information please email us at alliance(at)pwconserve.org or call 703.499.4954.
