They will walk a fixed route and record the different butterflies they meet along the way. Each visit should take no more than two hours, and each volunteer is expected to visit once a month to count the wildlife. “Staff will provide backup (后备人员), so if the weather is poor on the day you are to visit (butterflies dont like to fly in the rain, wind or if its too cloudy) we can have someone else do your job,” Sarah points out.No previous experience is necessary as training and support will be provided, but a strong interest is essential.
