Community Calendar

Join Dr. Don Miller and BCCER staff for the North American Butterfly Association (NABA)’s Butterfly Count, a citizen science event that celebrates the butterfly diversity of the continent. Participants will gather local data by counting the number of butterflies and species within the count circle, centered on the Reserve. These data become part of a database that allows scientists to answer important questions about butterfly populations and biology in North America. Spend a day with the experts, learn about the butterflies and contribute to science at the beautiful BCCER. Some moderately strenuous walking may be involved.
Wear/Bring: Everyone should wear sturdy hiking shoes with lugged soles, long-pants, bring food and water, and consider mosquito repellent, a hat, and sun-screen. Poison oak is ubiquitous on the BCCER. A butterfly guide and binoculars will be helpful.

For more information about the Reserve, and to find a list of our butterflies, visit us on our website at www.csuchico.edu/bccer/ and find us on Facebook at facebook.com/bigchicocreekecologicalreserve
The Reserve is part of Chico State Enterprises, a not-for-profit organization.
