Biologist Jessica Linton will share an overview of the Ontario Butterfly Species at Risk Recovery Team’s work to reintroduce the endangered Mottled Duskywing butterfly back to places it was formerly found in Southwest Ontario. This work has included establishing a captive rearing program, habitat restoration, research, and the reintroduction of the species to Pinery Provincial Park and Norfolk County where the butterfly has been extirpated for over three decades. Jessica’s talk will be followed by a conversation with KLT’s Land Stewardship Manager, Hayden Wilson, on Kawartha Land Trust’s work to support Mottled Duskywing habitat on several of KLT’s nature reserves.
Facilitators: Jessica Linton, Nature Resource Solutions Inc., and Hayden Wilson, Kawartha Land Trust
