Non-consumptive appreciation of butterflies is central to our purpose, basic to our approach, and the guiding principal behind general membership field trips. Collecting of adult butterflies is not allowed on these trips. Collecting of eggs and larval stages for rearing is accepted on condition that individuals raised to adult stage are released at their original location.
DIFFICULTY RATINGS:
- Easy, mostly by car, minor walking along roads
- Fairly limited walking, some slopes involved.
- Moderate, up to 2 miles walking with moderate slopes.
- Difficult, hiking required, trails or terrain are steep in places
- Very difficult, extended hiking on trails or steep terrain.
