The following is copied from the Communities United in Education catalog: "Butterflies at the Barrens Photography Workshop What is a brush footed butterfly and how does one photograph it? Find out at the Namekagon Barrens Wildlife Area (NBWA) in northeastern Burnett County. Explore a habitat that is globally rare. Combined with the Douglas County Bird Sanctuary and Crex Meadows Wildlife Area, NBWA is part of a “barrens corridor” that is home to species of birds, butterflies, plants, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and insects that are, in some cases, exclusive to barrens habitat. This one-day workshop will feature an introduction to the history of the Barrens and present management, butterfly photography instruction, and tips on how and where to look for butterflies and which ones can be found on the Barrens. During the afternoon we will hike the area to find, identify, and practice photographing butterflies. Come and enjoy a unique experience for photographers and naturalists alike! Bring your camera and a bag lunch, and dress for the outdoors.
