DO YOU FIND BUTTERFLIES INTRIGUING?
If so, join us and learn about butterflies and butterfly gardening and enjoy meeting with people who have similar interests. The Sarasota County chapter is an active group that meets monthly at The Sarasota Garden Club located at 1131 Blvd. of the Arts and offers a variety of speakers, field trips and sharing of butterfly gardening experiences. The club has an extensive butterfly garden open to the public. Many of our members have been working with schools and other local organizations in the community, helping to plant butterfly gardens and educating the public on butterfly conservation.
The North American Butterfly Association (NABA) is a national, non-profit organization, working to promote the public enjoyment and conservation of butterflies. The organization is interested in all aspects of recreational, non-consumptive (i.e. netless) butterfly appreciation, including butterfly gardening, identification, observation, photography and conservation.
NABA members are invited to participate in the Annual 4th of July Butterfly Counts (held in May in Florida). The counts are an excellent way for beginners and experts to increase their knowledge of butterfly identification and to contribute to this important study measuring the health of the environment.
NABA holds Biennial Meetings and meetings of the local chapters which members are welcome to attend
