The Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge supports excellent butterfly habitat. In a single spring day as many as 54 species have been observed along the Nature Drive! Butterflies of the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge is a guidebook for beginners and all butterfly lovers. It is the result of Barbara Woodmansee’s dedicated citizen-science survey work. Barbara is a long-time volunteer and former board member of the Friends of Lower Suwannee & Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuges. Her surveys, going back to 2009, informed Refuge staff and helped them enhance pollinator habitat in a number of ways, such as by adjusting their mowing schedule along roadsides and trails. Barbara’s photographs are compiled in the guide to help with butterfly identification and encourage visitors to appreciate and support the diversity of all our wildlife. The guidebook has been so popular that we have only 3 copies remaining in stock. We are updating with the four newly documented species that have been identified since the first edition was printed.
