Cascades Butterfly Project
During the summer of 2018, I served as an intern for the Cascades Butterfly Project. For the project, I monitored the phenology and abundance of wildflowers and butterflies to better understand the impacts of climate change on the respective ecosystems. The sites were located in alpine and subalpine meadows, which have a relatively short growing season and are therefore highly sensitive to changes in climate and weather.
