We are asking all who support environmental sanity and/or who recognize that private property rights are a cornerstone of American liberty to join with us in this effort.
If you join the National Butterfly Center by 10 p.m. CST on December 5, 2017, you will have the option of having your name listed in the lawsuit.
By becoming a member of the National Butterfly Center (NBC), you will not only have access to the NBC (the best place in the United States to see and learn about butterflies), you will also receive discounts for nursery and gift shop purchases.
Don't live near south Texas or plan to visit anytime soon? That's OK! Membership to the NBC also entitles you to and free or discounted admission to approximately 400 botanical gardens and zoos across the country through our participation in the American Horticultural Society's Reciprocal Admission Program.
Opt in to our suit by joining the NBC, or simply 'opt outside' by contributing to our campaign and gaining entrance to nature centers near you. Either way, we appreciate your generosity and need you to stand with us against this environmental atrocity and rape of the American landscape!

Did you know nearly 150 species of North American butterflies can be seen only in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) of Texas, or by traveling to Mexico?
In fact, more than 300 species of butterflies may be found in the LRGV, and more than 200 species have been seen at the National Butterfly Center, including a number of rarities and U.S. Records!
Incredibly, almost 40% of the 700+ butterflies that can be found in the United States can be seen in this three-county area at the southernmost tip of Texas, where the subtropical climate makes it possible to enjoy the outdoors year 'round.
