Historic Bethabara Park (Winston-Salem, NC)
2025-05-24 10:00 - 13:00 | Historic Bethabara Park, 2147 Bethabara Road, Winston-Salem, NC, 27106, United States
On Saturday, May 24, 2025, the Triad Chapter of CBS (Carolina Butterfly Society) will hold a butterfly walk at the Historic Bethabara Park Butterfly Garden. The Bethabara Gardens are beautiful, historically significant places to explore. When the Moravians settled Bethabara in the early 1750s, one of the first things they established were the gardens. The Pollinator Garden was not planted by the Moravians, but this new garden preserves their tradition and values of respecting and understanding of the balance of nature. The entire park encompasses 183 acres of preserved wildlife, historic buildings and grounds, walking and birding trails, and protected wetlands but we will initially be exploring the garden listed above. Refer to the website below for a map and additional information.
The park address is 2147 Bethabara Road, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27106 (or for those who prefer GPS coordinates, 36.15470, -80.29618). Please RSVP to Bernyce Pritchard at the email address below if you plan to participate.

Marie Poteat’s Property (Jamestown, NC)
2025-08-23 09:30 - 12:00 | Marie Poteat’s Property – Guilford County, NC, 1111 Bales Chapel Rd, Jamestown, NC, 27282, United States
Please mark your calendars for our next butterfly outing on Saturday, August 23rd to Marie Poteat’s property in Jamestown, NC. Of all the triad butterfly reports this year, Marie by far has had the most butterflies. In large part, this is because Marie has spent years reintroducing caterpillar host plants and butterfly nectar plants on what was once her family’s 70-acre+ working farm.
Marie said in an email: “Last year I had the most species of butterflies in mid-August so I think we should plan for August 23rd. Of course, there is no guarantee of what we see, but there should be a lot of swallowtails, skippers, and some hairstreaks, maybe.”
The start time is 9:30 so we can have from 10:00-12:00 to look for butterflies before the main heat of the day.
Parking will be at 1111 Bales Chapel in Jamestown.
Note that no restrooms are available; be sure to make a “pit stop” in town before you continue to the Poteat property. In addition, you will have to bring everything you need, including water, a snack, a folding chair, and a butterfly field guide.
Marie is limiting the number of participants to about 10 – 12 people. If you want to join in on this butterfly walk, you MUST register by contacting her: Marie Poteat <marie.poteat@gmail.com>
Summary: Butterfly walk, 8-23-25, Marie Poteat Property, 1111 Bales Chapel, Jamestown, NC beginning at 9:30 a.m. Limited to 10-12 participants. YOU MUST REGISTER IN ADVANCE IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE!
