    Potluck Dinner, Speaker, Slideshows

The Massachusetts Butterfly Club held its Spring meeting on Saturday, March 23 at the Mass Audubon Broad Meadow Brook Conservation Center in Worcester.

We began the evening with a potluck dinner with many fantastic appetizers, entrees and desserts.

Russ Hopping, Ecology Program Manager for the Trustees of Reservations (TTOR), presented “Habitat Management for Butterflies.” He shared with us some of the recent initiatives and strategies taken by TTOR to improve butterfly habitats in Massachusetts.

Member slideshows were presented by Bill Benner, Tom Murray, Madeline Champagne, Greg Dysart, Sue Cloutier, Dave Small, Larry Barry, Howard Hoople and Rosemary Mosco. Rosemary's humorous nature cartoons were a big hit!

The Spring issue of Massachusetts Butterflies along with schedules of the July 4th Counts and Field Trips for 2013 were handed out to all members that attended. It was mailed on March 25th to all other members. If you are a member and have not received it yet, please send email to barbara@massbutterflies.org.

Many thanks to all who volunteered and attended.
