Silverspot butterfly habitat restoration
6/1/2010
Institute for Applied Ecology has initiated a project to restore five acres of Oregon Silver Spot Butterfly (Speyeria zerene hippolyta
) habitat near Cascade Head on the Oregon Coast. The project is being lead by Dominic Maze, IAE Restoration Botanist, and involves native coastal prairie restoration, elimination of aggressive exotic plants, and re-establishment of native plant species important for the butterfly’s survival.
