SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Pre-Symposium Walk - Mason Farm Biological Reserve (Chapel Hill\, NC)
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED – Due to damage\, flooding and road closures from hurricane Helene\, the CBS Board has decided to cancel the October 5 symposium and this walk that was scheduled for Friday\, October 4.\nLOCATION CHANGE (due to hunting at previous venue)\nThis is a pre-symposium butterfly walk but anyone is welcome whether they plan on attending the symposium or not. \nWe will meet at the parking lot at Mason Farm Biological Reserve trailhead. There is no street address\, but the GPS coordinates are 35.89233\, -79.01647. The walking loop is about 2 miles or so and is flat. The trail winds through several habitats including hardwood forest\, mixed pine forest\, open fields\, and has a nice boardwalk section through a wetland. Approximately 60+ species of butterflies have been tallied here over the years and seasons. Of course\, we will not have that diversity in October\, but it’s still a nice walk. Jeff Pippen and Dave and Marty Kastner will lead. \nNo restrooms are available on the property. Please bring water\, snacks (or a late lunch)\, binoculars\, cameras and field guides. Sunscreen\, bug spray\, long pants and close-toed shoes are highly recommended. \nDirections – From the north\, drive to Finley Golf Course Road in Chapel Hill. Drive around the Finley Golf Club clubhouse and parking lot and past the driving range. Directly after the driving range at the power lines\, take the right fork onto Mason Farm Acc Road (which passes under the power lines). After about 0.38 miles\, turn to the right on the gravel access road to the creek\, then drive over the concrete ford (which always has at least some water flowing over it\, but should be passable). The trailhead parking lot is just to the south of the creek. \nPlease use the symposium registration form if you are attending the symposium and plan to participate. If you are NOT attending the symposium\, you can register for this walk online at the CBS website or RSVP to Marty Kastner at the email address below.

SUMMARY:Wateree River HP & WMA (Eastover\, near Columbia\, SC)
DESCRIPTION:The Carolina Butterfly Society Midlands Chapter will hold a butterfly walk on Saturday\, October 12\, 2024\, at the 3\,674-acre Wateree River Heritage Preserve and Wildlife Management Area. Our target species is Southern Dogface\, but we will also be looking for other late-season butterflies as well. We will drive to various areas\, walk some of the trails and quite possibly “bushwhack” through fields following the elusive Southern Dogface. Some areas may be a little overgrown\, but the walking is mostly on level ground and easy. \nMeet at the first kiosk that is located on the right\, about 0.45 miles along Goodwill Road after entering the property. GPS coordinates for the kiosk are 33.9495\, -80.6530. The HP / WMA entrance is located at 15001 Goodwill Road\, Eastover\, SC 29044 (GPS coordinates 33.9435\, -80.6555) on the north side of Garners Ferry Road\, US Highway 378\, just across from Goodwill Baptist Church. \nNo restrooms are available on the property. Refer to the SCDNR website link below for additional information and maps of the property. Either register on the CBS website or RSVP to Marty Kastner at the email address below if you plan to participate. Please bring water\, lunch\, binoculars\, cameras and field guides. Sunscreen\, bug spray\, long pants and close-toed shoes are highly recommended. \nSee the website link below for hiking trails and other information about the Wateree River Heritage Preserve and Wildlife Management Area.
