Welcome to the Bham Now Nature Roundup for the week of March 9.

Before we get to the news and events of the week, we’d like to recommend visiting the Alabama Butterfly Atlas.  As temperatures slowly rise and Spring is upon us be on the lookout for Alabama’s glorious butterflies.

The butterfly atlas will open the world of butterflies to you and all your friends.
