Hi all

Tues. May 18
A Bonus presentation for the  Pictou Co. Naturalists Club for May: =20
 7 p.m. New Glasgow Library
Are you interested in butterflies? Do you want to make a significant =
contribution to a real conservation effort? If you answered yes to =
either of these questions then you'll be interested in the Maritime =
Butterfly Atlas (MBA), a five-year initiative to better document all the =
butterfly species that occur in the Maritimes. Modeled in part after the =
Maritimes Breeding Bird Atlas, the MBA relies on the observations of =
volunteer naturalists like yourself. Once complete it will provide =
distributional and abundance information on all Maritime butterfly =
species, information that will be used to identify species of =
conservation concern and inform future conservation decisions. John =
Klymko, the director of the MBA, will briefly discuss the butterflies of =
Nova Scotia then introduce the MBA, which is in its first year. He will =
outline how to participate in the Atlas, including how to submit =
observations in the form of specimens and photographs. Atlas kits, =
including a net and other necessary equipment, will be provided to those =
who want to participate. There is no participation fee, though donations =
will be accepted for the Atlas kits." John Klymko is the zoologist at =
the Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre in Sackville, and is =
leading the Maritimes Butterfly Atlas and several other projects related =
to dragonflies, butterflies, bees and flower flies
Hope to see a good turn-out.=20
cheers
