Butterfly Walk Not to be Missed

If you sign up for a walk with Friends' board member Barbara Woodmansee, you're in for a treat. The last one produced as many as 23 different species of butterflies on a relatively short walk. Without her expert eye, many if not the majority might have been missed by the uneducated eye. So, good news, she's scheduled another walk for ​Thursday, April 6th. The walk will be along Barnett Creek Road on the Lower Suwannee Refuge. 

There is no fee for this event. We would appreciate your emailing us at friends@friendsofrefuges.org if you plan to come. If there is a large group for the walk we will have additional butterfly experts to help spot and identify these wonderful creatures.

We will start to gather at 8:45 a.m. at the point where Barnett Creek Road intersects with the Nature Drive. At 9:00 Barbara will have an introductory talk.  We will start walking at 9:15 and finish by 12:00. Park along the side of the road near where Barnett Creek Road intersects with the Nature Drive. 

We will not cover a lot of distance, perhaps a mile out and then back. We will be walking very slowly, watching the sides of the road for our butterflies. It will be good to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, a hat, and bug spray.
