Cedar Mesa Butterfly Count

Join BEP for day two of our second annual Butterfly Count, this time at Cedar Mesa! Did you know southeast Utah is home to more than 100 butterfly species? You'll learn why butterflies are important to the ecosystem, how to identify different species and how to count them. Not only is this a fun way to learn about the Bears Ears landscape, you'll be contributing data that will support conservation efforts. 

Bring: water, snacks, lunch, hiking boots, phones/camera, binoculars, day pack.

Ricky will provide guide booklets and butterfly nets.
