Here’s an idea from Greg Peters: You, your children and other local families might enjoy taking part in the butterfly count, which continues till the end of August. Visit the website to register and find out more information:

Only two days left. Even if you do not try a butterfly count this year, it is worthwhile looking at the website. The identification chart is useful. Perhaps you could take part next year. If you planted some butterfly friendly flowers your count would be even more successful.
Happy counting,
Greg
