OUR PURPOSE: Utilize conservation education and citizen science to minimize challenges to
Arkansas’ State Butterfly, Diana Fritillary (Argynnis diana).
OUR GOALS:
- Create public awareness regarding creation and protection of habitat, the importance of providing essential native plant nectar (May-Oct) and the need for responsible pesticide and herbicide use.
- Encourage Arkansans and visitors to become Citizen Scientists, posting sighting photos of pollinators to www.inaturalist.org which is critical for providing decision makers much needed data.
