The Conservation Foundation is collaborating with local partners to once again offer presentation series centered around the Fox River. This series highlights the wildlife diversity, unique attributes, and recreation opportunities provided by our most valuable natural asset, the Fox River. The benefits of living in and visiting the Fox River Valley are expansive, but also dependent on our human impact in these places. Join one or all of the presentations in the series to hear the speakers’ insights on the intricacies of our environment, ways to enjoy our local outdoor spaces, the cultural significance of the Fox River, and how you can care for our natural resources.
Quiet Wings of the Watershed: Butterflies and Moths of the Fox River Valley
Pam Otto, Kane County Naturalist
Pollinators, including butterflies and moths, are critical for the health of our local ecosystems, just as they too depend on certain habitats to thrive. Although silently flying through the Fox River Valley, their beauty and impact is bold. Kane County naturalist, Pam Otto, will share what these insects rely on locally and what we can each do to help them flourish despite the challenges of today.
