Welcome!
to the Island Marble Butterfly Hub—a place for volunteers and island marble butterfly (IMB) partners alike to share information for events, trainings, best management practices, and current IMB status
The Island Marble Butterfly Volunteer Program (IMBVP) is dedicated to the creation, restoration, maintenance and enhancement of IMB habitat. It is estimated that 200–500 IMBs remain today. In 2020, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) listed the IMB as an endangered species. Volunteers are needed to conserve habitat for this endemic butterfly to prevent its extinction and conserve biodiversity.
