Join Audubon Vermont in celebrating National Moth Week with a special Caterpillar Count Community Science event on Friday, July 25th from 2:00–3:30 PM at our Green Mountain Audubon Center in Huntington.

This fun and educational afternoon is part of our ongoing work to better understand the critical relationships between caterpillars and birds, and how seasonal changes impact their life cycles. You’ll get hands-on experience collecting data as part of the Caterpillars Count! Initiative a nationwide community science project that helps scientists track caterpillar abundance and timing.

All ages are welcome, and no experience is necessary, just bring your curiosity.
We’ll provide tools, training, and guidance to help you participate confidently.
