Habitat RestorationWe will continue to work on the Taylor's checkerspot butterfly project for habitat restoration with the clearing of noxious weeds and planting micro-habitat plots. The last 2009 group event was on October 18, 2009. We planted our first micro-habitat plot with various larval and nectaring host plants used by the butterfly. We will be monitoring the plants to see whether they can survive the eastern cottontail rabbits.
