Random Photo From Work: Fender’s Blue Butterfly

Several weeks ago Bennett Hall and I went to Wren for a story on Fender’s blue butterfly habitat in Benton County. You can read Bennett’s story here.

Bill Pearcy has been working to enhance Fender's blue butterfly habitat on his land near Wren for years. But he worries that Benton County's plan to protect the endangered insect puts too much burden on landowners like him while making development easier elsewhere.
