12. (Saturday) 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Guadalupe River/Honey Creek Butterfly Count

Join us for our first annual butterfly count! We’ll meet at the state park and survey the 4,000+ acres and surrounding area to count butterflies as part of a nation-wide effort to monitor populations of these environmentally sensitive creatures. A brief identification primer will begin the day and then we’ll break into teams and take to the trails.

Whether you are a novice or expert, we need you! To sign up for this day of great fun and learning, call 830.438.7653 or email craig.hensley(at)tpwd.state.tx.us

Each participant will need to pay the $6 park entry fee (children under 12 are free) plus a $3 fee for participation in the count – this goes to the North American Butterfly Association for publishing the results.
