Become a Michigan Butterfly Network Partner City!

This project would not be possible without the involvement of partner organizations across Michigan. The Michigan Butterfly Network is always looking to extend its reach within the state to gain a more accurate account of the butterfly populations. We welcome partner organizations across Michigan to join us in an effort to conserve our local butterfly populations.
