Butterfly Walk, Sunday July 4

Hello Butterfly Watchers,
We will be having a Butterfly Walk on Sunday, July 4 as described in the VNHS calendar. Covid-19 protocols now allow larger groups, but we should still be careful about physical distancing.
We will meet at the top of Mount Tolmie by the reservoir, at 1.00 p.m. You can park in the parking lot there, or in the large lot north of the summit. After a look around the summit, we will decide on a destination from there.
See you on Sunday,
Gordon
