SUMMARY:Loretta Lutman’s Home Butterfly Garden 2023 (Randolph County\, NC)
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, July 8\, 2023\, the Triad Chapter of CBS (Carolina Butterfly Society) has been invited to a butterfly walk at Loretta Lutman’s extensive private butterfly garden in Randolph County that has many nectar plants all around her house. In addition\, she has installed her “blue garden\,” a sculpture garden of butterfly images with blue being the dominant color. This is a beautiful addition to all her planted beds. \nLoretta has previously stated\, “The tour of my garden includes photos of what was once a scrubby wooded lot with no sun\, to a full-fledged butterfly garden full of nectar plants with the surrounding woodlands supplying host plants. Around and in back of the house are several butterfly sculptures in the ‘blue’ garden. After your tour\, sit a spell in the gazebo (with fans)\, view the garden\, and enjoy butterflies\, skippers\, and the surprise goldfinches that come to forage on coneflower petals. Listen to the delightful sound of the waterfall sprinkler.” \nAs well as developing her own extensive butterfly garden\, Loretta has spent many years as a volunteer working at the nearby NC Zoo in their butterfly gardening efforts. She also is the author of a scientifically accurate children’s book on the butterfly life cycle. \nIf you would like to attend\, please contact Loretta Lutman at the email address below to RSVP and obtain her address (which\, for privacy and security concerns\, is not published here). If it happens to rain (banish the thought) on July 8\, this walk will be rescheduled to July 15.

SUMMARY:NC Western Mountains - BRP (near Asheville\, NC)
DESCRIPTION:This is a Full CBS Walk to the western mountains of North Carolina that will explore several areas along and around the BRP (Blue Ridge Parkway) near Asheville\, NC. We will meet both days at 10:00 at the Bent Creek River Park\, at 1610 Brevard Road\, Asheville\, NC 28806 (GPS coordinates 35.5015\, -82.5931)\, which is located about 100 yards south of the traffic light at the BRP entrance ramp. This meeting location will be our first opportunity to look for butterflies and a good place to leave vehicles (for those who prefer to carpool). \nThe plan for Saturday is to caravan up Bent Creek to the BRP\, travel south past Mount Pisgah to eventually make it to a USFS area called The Pink Beds. For Sunday we could drive further south along the BRP to higher elevations near Graveyard Fields and Black Balsam. Depending on the weather we may decide to go to the higher country on Saturday. \nSaturday Proposed Route and Locations \n\nStarting point @ Bent Creek River Park (address and/or GPS coordinates above).\nThen 2.7 miles to Hard Times Trailhead.\nNext\, follow Bent Creek Gap Road for 4.8 miles to Bent Creek Gap to access the BRP.\nContinue south on the BRP for 10 miles to Fryingpan Mountain Lookout tower.\nContinue south on the BRP & Hwy 276\, for 8 miles to the Pink Beds near the Cradle of Forestry.\nThere are two options for returning to the starting point. The first is going back the way we came. The other is to follow the gravel USFS Yellow Gap Road for 10 miles to the North Mills River Campground\, then taking North Mills River Road and Hwy 191 back to Bent Creek River Park.\n\nSunday Proposed Route and Locations \n\nMeet again at Bent Creek River Park (address and/or GPS coordinates above)\nDrive south on the BRP 44 miles to Black Balsam Knob parking area.\n\nPlease bring water\, lunch\, binoculars\, cameras\, sunscreen\, and bug spray.
