As the park comes alive with a spectacular array of butterflies in mid-summer, here is the chance to learn from experts the best ways to identify and "capture" butterflies through photography. William B. Folsom and Joseph Rossbach, photography workshop leaders at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, will show you when, where and how to approach butterflies. They will provide technical tips for stunning results, whether you use a digital or film camera. Mary Willeford Bair, natural resource specialist with the National Park Service, will provide tips for identifying the most common butterflies found in this area. The workshop offers a mix of indoor Powerpoint programs and outdoor field practice. The workshop will be held rain or shine. The "Butterfly Photography and Identification" is $50 per person and reservations are required. Shenandoah National Park Association members receive a 20% discount. Lunch and program materials are included. Participants will need to provide their own camera.
