Message from Gordon Hart:

 

Hello Butterfly Watchers,
We will be having another Butterfly Walk on Sunday, August 2. We will be following the Covid-19 policies approved by the VNHS Board of Directors. They can be found on page 5 of the July/August issue of The Naturalist and in this morning’s entry.

We meet at the top of Mount Tolmie by the reservoir, at 1.00 p.m. You can park in the parking lot there, or in the large lot north of the summit. After a look around the summit, and depending on the weather, we will decide on a destination from there.
See you on Sunday,
Gordon

Gordon Hart,
