[Dnldhlt@xxxxxxx]

Greetings to all observers of Nature,
     The annual butterfly count at Roan Mtn. will take place Saturday, July 
17, 2004.  Everyone is welcome, no experience is required.  We will meet at 10 
am at the Visitors' Center in Roan Mtn. State Park.  We will carpool to the 
nearby Hampton Creek Cove State Natural Area for the morning hours, then head 
up 
the mountain to the Rhododendron Gardens for a picnic lunch.  There is a 
small country store on the way up where you can purchase drinks, snacks and 
groceries.  After lunch we hope to find lots of Aphrodite Fritillaries as we 
walk 
around the Rhododendron Gardens.  As weather and time allows, we will look at 
several other spots around the area and in the park.  Anyone interested in 
making a separate hiking party to count on the Appalachian Trail along the 
grass 
balds should feel free to contact me for details.  The results of the count 
will 
be reported to the North American Butterfly Association.  NABA requests a $3 
fee from adult participants, who will be listed in the published report.  Come 
prepared for rain AND sun, as weather on the mountain can be quite 
changeable.  Please contact me if you have any questions.
