Butterfly Walk at Leonard Preserve

Please join Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance and resident butterfly experts at the Leonard Preserve in the Manchester area. We will observe and catch butterflies to study and release. The Leonard Preserve is also a fabulous place for birding, so bring binoculars too! Walking will be a long trails on flat terrain. We will have extra binoculars for those that need them. Bring your curiosity and questions for this wonderful walk

Photographers are highly encouraged to attend as we attempt to document all of the species we find. Data gathered will be shared with Matthaei staff and to iNaturalist. You can view our past butterfly observations and photos here.
