Vermont Butterfly Survey Blockbusting Trips
Here's your chance to commune with VBS staff and volunteers in the good company of butterflies. We'll visit blocks in need of survey work -- and sort of take them by storm. (Call it a "block party.") It should be a great opportunity for beginners to pick up some field skills as well.

Stay tuned for a list of blockbusting trips....
