An important message from Aziza:
Hi Butterfly Counters,
The VNHS website has been changed and the old Butterfly Count form link doesn’t work. Please log in to the Victoria Natural History website using the link:
https://www.vicnhs.bc.ca/website/index.php
Then, under “Popular Items” on the right hand side, click on “Butterfly Count”.
If you’ve submitted a count using the old form, could you please re-submit using the new form? I haven’t been receiving any of your count forms, so unless you re-send the data will be lost.
I’m really sorry for the extra work. Hopefully the transition will go smoothly now.
Thanks very much,
Aziza Cooper
