Hi All,

Two things:=20

1) NEW BUTTERFLY WEBSITE: I=E2=80=99ve created https://urldefense.com/v3/_=
_http://www.WNCbutterflylover.org__;!!OToaGQ!uv0yRJ5wLRKKKlxnFRrVrwaUBr8Ez8=
BpNzSje1qyvVrRoj-KXdPqgLHSvTdxLkUNDpPS-wi3MCBjKlfbEYgU$ <https://urldefens=
e.com/v3/__http://www.wncbutterflylover.org/__;!!OToaGQ!uv0yRJ5wLRKKKlxnFRr=
VrwaUBr8Ez8BpNzSje1qyvVrRoj-KXdPqgLHSvTdxLkUNDpPS-wi3MCBjKq6TNtAM$ >, a new=
website to highlight butterfly conservation in Western NC. We=E2=80=99ve a=
lso recently created a Western North Carolina chapter of the Carolina Butte=
rfly Society. I hope that we can increase membership and get more people an=
d organizations onboard with butterfly conservation in my area. The website=
is still a work in progress, so keep checking back.


2) FIELD TRIP: Western NC Chapter =E2=80=A6 Mt. Mitchell for the Green Comma

September 28 (Saturday): meet in Asheville at 11 am

Our first field trip as a chapter will take place at the end of the month, =
weather permitting. It=E2=80=99s always dicey weather-wise planning a trip =
to Mt. Mitchell to see the Green Comma <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/=
/www.georgianature.com/green-comma-polygonia-faunus__;!!OToaGQ!uv0yRJ5wLRKK=
KlxnFRrVrwaUBr8Ez8BpNzSje1qyvVrRoj-KXdPqgLHSvTdxLkUNDpPS-wi3MCBjKjNyfqQs$ >=
, but what a thrill to see one on a good day! I=E2=80=99m also taking a cha=
nce scheduling this later in September. It might be a bust, but that=E2=80=
=99s the only weekend that I had free this month and, in good weather, this=
trail is always greatl. I recommend long pants, layers, and a rain jacket =
as the weather can turn quickly up there.=20

Here are the details:

Attendees will meet at 11:00 am at 96 Holland Street, Asheville, 28801 (GPS=
coordinates 35.60645, -82.55455) and carpool to the Tourist Information Ce=
nter at Mount Mitchell State Park (MOMI). The drive from Asheville to MOMI =
takes about an hour, mostly on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Carpooling is import=
ant since parking will be tight at this building during what is expected to=
be peak leaf season.

Our target species is the Green Comma. This is the best time and only relia=
ble place to find them in North Carolina. We will explore along the Commiss=
ary Road Trail, which is an easy, graveled trail that starts near the back =
of the Tourist Information Center. Bathrooms are available at this building=
. If you=E2=80=99re traveling from out of town and plan on staying overnigh=
t, make your hotel reservations now, again due to the probable demand durin=
g peak leaf season. If needed, the rain date will be Sunday, September 29. =
