  We are BEST, the local chapter of the North American Butterfly Association (NABA), an international, non-profit organization. Like NABA chapters all across the continent, we work to increase public enjoyment and conservation of butterflies, by focusing on the joys of non-consumptive, recreational butterflying including; listing,  gardening, rearing, conservation and photography.

  Our meetings are open to all ages and backgrounds. We conduct monthly field trips both near and far during the flight season. We sponsor numerous butterfly counts scattered throughout Southeast Texas. We promote butterfly conservation at area schools, within other local organizations, and at local festivals. We have a lot of FUN!!! Come join us!! No previous knowledge or experience with butterflies is necessary!
