Join fellow butterfly enthusiasts on July 26th for a fun day of butterfly counting! This annual community science event takes place at over 450 sites across North America, including seven right here in New Hampshire. Each count focuses on a 15-mile diameter circle officially registered with the North American Butterfly Association.

These counts need a certain number of participants to happen, so your help is essential! Whether you’re an expert or just curious, there’s a role for everyone. You might help navigate to different observation spots, assist with species identification, snap photos for post-event verification, or record data for your team. No experience necessary. Signing up ahead of time helps us to develop the teams and plan our field trip locations.

Takes place July 26, 2025, (with a rain date of July 27, 2025) between 9-4pm, with more detailed information shared upon registration. We are based out of the McLane Center, and the day will be spent in the field in different locations throughout the Concord area. Come for the whole day, or just part of it.
