Lots of butterflies in Newfields!

[Steve Mirick]

Jane and I visited the Piscassic Greenway property managed by the
Southeast Land Trust (access trail from Bald Hill Road).  We visited
here almost 2 months ago for our first visit.  Goldenrod and some asters
and lingering Joe Pye weed were the best nectar sources.  One of the
fields was cut.  We walked all the fields and had great fun finally
seeing a few butterflies!
