Written by Elisabeth Rondinone | Sep 24, 2025 3:58:06 PM

What does it take to protect butterflies in Vermont? A community determined to not let them disappear! Vermont has over a hundred butterfly species but many are declining as in the face of growing environmental threats like pesticides.

Join the Vermont Center for Ecostudies’ Dana Williams to explore how butterfly volunteers help us understand the role butterflies play in our ecosystems, which species are our neighbors, and how we can protect butterflies with just a smartphone and a pair of binoculars.

We hope you will join us!
