"Managing for the Federally Endangered Karner Blue Butterfly"
John Lerg, Michigan Department of Natural Resources & Chris Hoving, Michigan Department of Natural Resources
Beauty and grace best describe this federally endangered species found in the Midwest and places on the east coast. The Karner blue butterfly depends entirely on the wild lupine plant found in our disappearing prairies and grasslands. Lupine is the only known larval feeding food for this butterfly. The Karner blue has two hatches each year. July and August are the time of the second hatch. During this webcast we will learn about this beautiful butterfly and discuss how to manage habitat with single species in mind as well as the opportunities and challenges of this approach.
Webcast led by the following experts:
-
John Lerg, Michigan Department of Natural Resources
-
Chris Hoving, Michigan Department of Natural Resources
-
Lisa Brush - Executive Director, Stewardship Network. Lisa has been working to bring groups and individuals together to build capacity to manage our natural areas.
