Where the Wildflowers Grow
Join a park ranger to learn about native butterfly species. We will go over butterfly anatomy and common families. Then go on a short hike (approximately 1 mile) to look for butterflies and count the number of species we find. Please email maggie.miller@ncparks.gov to register.
