Monticello Butterfly Count
Due to the weather, we cannot predict which day we will do it. We will watch the weather and call it for the best day we can. This will be our 32nd year doing this. Our results go to the North American Butterfly Association and data is used to monitor butterfly populations. For more information, call Renee Davis at 845-798-3266.

Halls Mills Butterfly Count
Stu Alexander started this count in 2003. He felt the need to survey the butterflies in the northern part of our county. It is a totally different habitat than what is in our Monticello Count. Farm fields, high elevation, and spruce bogs produce butterflies that are not seen in the lower part of our county. Rain date is Sunday, July 13. For more information, call Stu at 845-796-6721.
