Summary:
The data contained in this document were gathered from December
2002 and January 2003. Representatives from 38 conservation, education,
and academic institutions
in Northeast Ohio were invited to submit electronic forms on the
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo website (http://www.clemetzoo.com/).
Participants submitted one form for each conservation, education,
or research project conducted since 1992. A total of 18 people
provided data on 41 projects, 37 of which are ongoing. Most submissions
were
either butterfly monitoring (19/41, 46%) or butterfly education
(16/41, 39%) projects; only 5 were research projects (12%). Projects
occur predominantly in Cuyahoga, Lake, and Geauga counties. Butterfly
monitoring projects focused on species occurring in the habitats
but education projects included a range of both native and exotic
species.

We are conducting the Northeast Ohio Butterfly Projects Database
project to identify what
butterfly education, research, conservation, and monitoring
projects are occurring in Northeast
Ohio. Data may be entered at any time on the Cleveland Metroparks
Zoo website and periodic summary updates will be provided
on the website. We hope this information will encourage sharing
of information and resources between conservation, education,
and academic institutions in Northeast Ohio.

offer them in 2003.
