Reporting of butterfly observations in NH has increased dramatically over the past few years since the start of the NH Butterfly Monitoring Network. Join NH Fish & Game Wildlife Biologist Heidi Holman to learn about key highlights that your efforts and others have contributed to our knowledge of butterflies in the state. If you are new to the hobby of “butterflying” this webinar will cover the top 20 species you may encounter to get you started. If you are a regular collaborator, we’ll be sharing what is planned to expand the effort in 2026.
This training is part of a series of three webinars hosted by the NH Butterfly Monitoring Network, a collaborative effort led by NH Fish & Game Department to engage volunteers in counting and identifying butterflies across New Hampshire. The series will provide information on butterflies in New Hampshire, butterfly identification, photographing butterflies, and how to submit your observations to support the NH Butterfly Monitoring Network. For more information and to register for the session(s) you want to attend (you don’t need to attend them all!), visit nhbutterflies.org. All butterfly enthusiasts are welcome, with or without prior experience!
If you need an accommodation to participate in our programming, please contact Haley Andreozzi (haley.andreozzi@unh.edu, 603-862-5327) prior to the event. Given ample time, we will make any reasonable effort to meet your needs, including language access services if requested, which will be provided free of charge.
