Thank you to everyone for attending Butterflies & Brunch! We truly enjoyed seeing new and old friends of ORLT come together along the Middle Oconee River on Saturday morning. We hope you learned something new and fascinating from Dr. Porter, enjoyed chatting with fellow conservationists, savored the beautiful setting where we gathered, and left with a better understanding of the Middle Oconee Conservation Corridor initiative.
We'd also like to specially thank Dan and Sally Coenen for hosting the event, and Dr. Porter for presenting his wealth of knowledge.

Join us for our next event on September 25th at Ciné where local photographer Jason Thrasher will preview his images of the Middle Oconee River and local river guide Oconee Joe will speak about the river's natural history and ecology.
We welcome your support of the Middle Oconee Conservation Corridor. Please consider attending our future events, chatting with your neighbors and friends about ORLT's work, making a gift, and becoming a member.
We are so grateful for the ORLT community!
