Species-Finding Field Trip: Frigga Fritillary and Red-disked Alpine

With all the biodiversity in the greater Sax-Zim Bog ecosystem, seeing the uncommon, rare or difficult-to-find species can require special, targeted effort. This field trip is focused on finding two unique butterfly species: Frigga Fritillary and Red-disked Alpine. These two butterflies are specialists of open bogs, which are not very common in this area, and feature Bog Willow, Cranberry and sedges.

Please note: this is a strenuous field trip with almost all the hiking done off-trail in wet and uneven conditions.

Field Trip attendance is free for Friends of Sax-Zim Bog members. The $25 membership fee covers entry to all field trips and programs, excluding workshops, in a 12-month period.

Registration is required at saxzim.org. Registrants meet at the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog Welcome Center and Lois King Education Center at noon. The field trip concludes at 5 p.m.
