Bird and Butterfly

Many animals, birds, and butterflies - permanent and migratory residents - call Rauscher Farm home. To discover more about these residents, the Rauscher Farm Management Subcommittee (RFMSC) together with the Friends of Rauscher Farm (FoRF), and the Clinton Greenway Conservation Trust (CGCT), are seeking volunteers to help with a Bird ‘n Buterfly-a-thon, starting in July 2010. Information gathered from the “Thon” will be integrated into the Rauscher Farm Land Management Plan.

Volunteers are invited to visit Rauscher Farm on their own schedules to complete sighting checklists and drop them off in the box on the side of the barn (near the silo).

Since the fields will be mowed in late August, until then, we ask that you kindly keep to the edge of the fields. Be sure to bring your binoculars and field guidebooks, dress appropriately, and take the usual tick precautions!

Bird and butterfly volunteer checklists are available using the Adobe Acrobat link below, at the farm, and at the following locations:


	Clinton Conservation Commission Clinton Town Hall 242 Church Street Clinton, MA 01510


	Bigelow Free Public Library 54 Walnut Street Clinton, MA 01510
