DETAILS

Join local lepidopterist Victor DeMasi, research associate at Peabody Museum of Natural History, on this walk through an outstanding open meadow to observe butterflies and learn about their ecology and conservation. He will share and discuss his collection of butterflies from around the world, and specimens from the museum will be on display. He will point out the local flora and fauna as he leads a field walk in the beautiful Randall’s Farm meadow to observe butterflies up close. Interested children are welcome! DeMasi has studied butterflies for the last 40 years in Connecticut and far away places such as the Amazon basin and Ethiopia.
