SUMMARY:Lunchtime Discovery: Skippers in the Dunes
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Carol Price\, Conservation Research Coordinator\, North Carolina Aquariums\, and Katie Barnes and Maggie Hart\, Students\, NC State University\n\nJoin us to learn about a small brown butterfly\, the Crystal Skipper\, that is only found along North Carolina’s Bogue Banks. The Crystal Skipper is endemic to just a 50 kilometer stretch from Bear Island to Fort Macon State Park. Since much of its range overlaps with human activities\, buildings and homes the skipper is experiencing habitat fragmentation due to urban development. Price and her students work with an interdisciplinary research team to conduct butterfly counts\, vegetation surveys and habitat restoration projects to help support the Crystal Skipper population. Find out more about this unique butterfly and the team of conservationists that is working to keep it going strong.\n\nJoin us on YouTube! \n\nLive Virtual Presentation hosted by NC Museum of Natural Sciences’ SECU Daily Planet Curator Chris Smith and the NC Department of Environmental Quality Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs staff. \nYou can post questions in the YouTube chat or tweet questions to #LunchTimeDiscovery and mention @NorthCarolinaEE. \nBrought to you by the NC DEQ Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs and the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.
