About This Event
Discover the history, ecology, and conservation of America’s Rattlesnake – the Timber Rattlesnake. The Timber Rattlesnake has a varied history with our own country, once being an animal that was placed on a pedestal and then quickly moved to the chopping block. We will discuss reasons why this animal is so special and should be conserved throughout its range. This talk will discuss what makes a rattlesnake a rattlesnake and some amazing facts about the Timber Rattlesnake and how it interacts with its environment. We will also explore the Northern Copperhead (the only other venomous snake in our backyard) in addition to the Eastern Milksnake and Common Watersnake (two species of snake that are commonly mistaken for venomous animals) and perhaps more snake species from our backyard. There will be safe opportunities to see live representatives of snakes an hour before the talk (feel free to come early!). This talk will also have plenty of interactive moments for kids (and adults) of all ages. Event begins promptly at 10:00 a.m. Meet at Environmental Education Center. Registration is required.
Cost: $5/family (non-members), Free for members
