There is a special wetland here in North Oakland County that supports a tiny butterfly called the Poweshiek Skipperling. NOHLC has kicked off a campaign to preserve the special and rare fen habitat it calls home. With less than 100 individuals left, it is up to us to give this federally-endangered butterfly a fighting chance! Beautiful and important to the survival of vast amounts of life, you will be helping to forever save this gem that is in your backyard.
