Rich Chyinski will show hikers the amazing varieties of butterflies that live and migrate through the Walden Preserve. These Butterfly Walks are very popular with children. Rich has a technique that allows him to safely "catch" these delicate creatures; keep them in hand for the children (and adults!) to study, and then let them fly free.
