Have you ever wanted to learn more about butterflies? Here’s your chance! The Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department is hosting a virtual butterfly identification workshop and training designed to help track population trends, species richness, and diversity across the county.
During the workshop, participants will:
Learn to identify Sulphur and Skipper series butterflies
Receive a brief introduction to useful butterfly identification apps
And much more!
After the training, you can put your new skills to use by participating in one of our five upcoming butterfly monitoring programs—participation is optional, and you do not need to become a monitor to attend the workshop. If you plan to participate in the Saturday monitoring event on March 21, attending this workshop is highly recommended.
Please note that registration for monitoring events is separate from workshop registration. Monitoring opportunities are limited to a maximum of 10 participants per park/event and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to individuals who attended a butterfly workshop this year or last. Space is limited, so be sure to register early.
All registered workshop participants will receive a calendar invite and a Microsoft Teams meeting link a few days prior to the event. This workshop is open to anyone with an interest in butterflies.
