The Carolina Butterfly Society sponsors a variety of activities during "butterfly season". Each type is described below. Each activity is identified as to type on the left-most column of the listing.
Garden Walks (GW): A good way to get started. These leisurely walks to observe & identify butterflies usually take place at a public garden, park, or nature center.
Field Trips (FT): A trip with some sort of focus such as locating or photographing an uncommon or rare species or checking out a new interesting location.
Annual Foray (AF): A several day event to a region of the Carolinas that is poorly known. It will allow a more in-depth coverage looking for special target species.
Scouting Trips (ST): Much like a field trip but very informal and is to a new or unproven site. The purpose is to investigate the area for potential as a future trip site.
NABA Counts (NABA): A one-day enumeration of butterflies that can be found in a designated 15-mile diameter circle. The results are compiled & published by the North American Butterfly Association (NABA). There is a $3/participant fee for these events payable to NABA to help defray the publishing costs.
