SUMMARY:NABA Butterfly Count (CSRV\, Aiken County\, SC)
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Saturday\, July 11\, 2026 \nLocation: Silver Bluff Audubon Center\, Jackson\, SC \n\nMeeting Time:  9:00 am – to 4:00 pm\nMeeting Spot:  Meet at the Silver Bluff Audubon Visitor Center in Jackson\, South Carolina. The GPS coordinates for the gate just outside the visitor center are 33.3245\, -81.8450. The street address is 4542 Silver Bluff Road\, Jackson\, SC 29831. Important note: Using the street address\, some GPS systems tell you that you’ve arrived one mile before you actually reach the Silver Bluff gates. At that point\, Silver Bluff Road transitions from a paved road to a well-maintained sand/clay road. Continue driving for one more mile and you’ll see the gates on your right. As stated earlier\, the GPS coordinates above are for the gate located just outside the visitor’s center.\n\nDescription: NABA (North American Butterfly Association) will hold a butterfly count in the CSRV (Central Savannah River Valley) at the Silver Bluff Audubon Center in Jackson\, South Carolina. Audubon’s Silver Bluff Sanctuary is a 3\,400-acre woodland overlooking the Savannah River. Here you’ll find extensive pine forests and bottomland hardwood forests; beautiful walking trails; 50 acres of lakes and ponds; 100 acres of grassland; and all manner of birds\, butterflies and wildlife. Refer to the website below for specific directions and additional information about Silver Bluff Sanctuary. \nTarget Species:  All butterflies \nNotes: The restroom at the visitor center will be accessible at the beginning of the day and at lunchtime. We will eat lunch at the picnic area by the visitor center. Please bring water\, lunch\, binoculars\, cameras and field guides.
