Caterpillars Count! is a volunteer community science project for measuring the seasonal variation, also known as phenology, and abundance of arthropods like caterpillars, beetles, and spiders found on the foliage of trees and shrubs. Join Senior Naturalist, Kristy Morley every Wednesday at 6:30pm throughout the summer at Crossways Preserve to collect data on the caterpillars and other arthropods there.
No experience is necessary and this volunteer opportunity is suitable for adults and families with school-age children. You may attend as many or as few meet-ups as you would like, it's not required to attend every week. In-person training will be held May 29 at 6:30pm at Four Mills Barn.
Email Kristy@wissahickontrails.org for more details or with any questions.
