You have probably heard of Fort Indiantown Gap’s famous
“butterfly”…now is your chance to see it up close and personal. The public is
invited to tour Regal Fritillary habitat in an area normally closed to the public
and learn how the conservation efforts for this species of concern are balanced
with military training. 2012 Regal Fritillary Habitat Tours are being held on June 30, July 1, July 6 and July 7. Tours start at 10am. For more information, visit Fort Indiantown Gap's Regal Fritillary web site.
“The Regal Fritillary butterfly colony at
Fort Indiantown Gap continues to thrive alongside military training equipment
thanks to our dedicated wildlife staff,” said Col. Samuel Hayes, commander of
the Fort Indiantown Gap National Guard Training Site. “These tours are popular
for visitors of all ages because participants are able to see and learn about
the butterfly in its natural habitat.” View a Regal Fritillary fact sheet.
