    Butterflies are shown July 15, 2024, during a Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin butterfly field day on South Post at Fort McCoy, Wis.

    The excursion on post was led by Endangered Species Biologist Jessup Weichelt with the Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works Environmental Division Natural Resources Branch.

    The group stopped at areas in Badger Drop Zone where there’s lots of natural habitat for butterflies.

    Butterflies like these are protected at Fort McCoy as well.

    Fort McCoy is home to several thriving species of endangered butterflies.

    Fort McCoy’s motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.”

    Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.

    The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services nearly every year since 1984.
