Butterfly conservation and management short course

The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) invite you to attend a Butterfly Conservation and Management Short Course in Klamath Falls, Oregon. This full-day training will provide an overview of butterfly biology and identification, threats, and appropriate habitat management. In all of these modules, the emphasis will be on at-risk butterflies in the Klamath Falls area, including the mardon skipper, Leona's little blue, and monarch. By the end of the day, participants will have the skills to begin implementing effective habitat management and conservation efforts on butterflies.
