Please join us for a Carolina Butterfly Society symposium on Saturday, October 8, 2022, with sign in / registration beginning at 9:30 AM. This in-person symposium will be held at the Pioneers Building of Method Community Park located in Raleigh, North Carolina. A self-tour of JC Raulston Arboretum (which is located less than 3/4 of a mile from the symposium site) will follow lunch.

Presentations will be as follows:

1. “Launching a NC Butterfly Monitoring Program” by Jeff Pippen
2. “Mountain Butterflies – Butler Mt, Buncombe County” by Sparrel Wood
3. “Butterfly Counts and Databases” by Brian Bockhahn

The cost to attend is $40.00 per person and includes lunch from Subway.  Additional information and details are available in The Chrysalis (the CBS newsletter). This event is open to the public, so friends and non-members are welcome to attend. If you are not a member and wish to attend, please submit a Contact Form request to CBS (via the link below) and a Carolina Butterfly Symposium application form will be emailed back to you.

If technical solutions can be found, we hope to “broadcast” the symposium via Zoom for those who cannot or, due to Covid, wish not to attend in person. The “host” will open the Zoom session at about 9:30 AM and participants are encouraged to join before the scheduled start time of 9:50 AM. Please note that Zoom software will need to be installed on your device to join the Zoom “broadcast” (viewing the symposium presentations). An email will be sent out to all CBS members during the week of October 3rd with a link to the symposium Zoom session.

Anyone can leave the Zoom session at any time by clicking the red ‘ Leave ‘ (or possibly ‘ End ‘ or ‘ Leave Meeting ‘) button in the lower right corner of the screen. Anyone who has left can rejoin the Zoom session by again clicking on the link that will be provided.

HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE SYMPOSIUM
