Join us in counting the Sunshine Coast's butterflies at Mary Cairncross. You don't need to be a butterfly expert, anyone can join.Join a group of butterfly enthusiasts to survey the butterflies of the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve.
Add to our understanding of what butterflies call this important rainforest habitat home while building your observation and identification skills.
The survey is part of Australian Pollinator Week awareness and celebration.
Butterflies are an important part of a healthy environment. Both adult butterflies and their caterpillars are food for many creatures like birds. Butterflies also help to pollinate our plants. Many caterpillars can only feed on specific native host plants. Because of this close relationship with plants, butterflies can be an indicator of the environmental health of an area.
Butterfly observations will be made around the Rainforest Discovery Centre and the open grass areas of the site. Please wear sun smart clothing and closed toe shoes.
Meet at the entry to the Rainforest Discovery Centre.
