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