About the NABA Northern
Crescents Chapter
The North American Butterfly Association
(NABA) was founded by Jeffrey Glassberg in 1992 to increase the public
enjoyment of butterflies. NABA promotes recreational, non-consumptive
butterflying and works to increase public knowledge, enjoyment and conservation
of butterflies. In the past decade NABA has grown to over 4,000 members
with 33 national chapters.
The Northern Crescents came to life in January 2002 and has attracted
a diverse group of butterfly enthusiasts united by a love of butterflies.
Our chapter includes students, gardeners, amateur and professional naturalists,
teachers, artists, writers, homemakers, photographers and bee keepers.
Past meetings have included talks by
Larry Weber - author of "Butterflies of the North Woods" Dave Benson - Duluth writer and naturalist Pat Thomas - St. Louis county master gardener Tom Kasper - Duluth city gardener
