Sponsored by Gayle Watkins & Andy Chmar
Many people live in fear of coming into contact with a venomous snake in the outdoors. However the average person often has trouble identifying one from the many non-venomous and harmless snakes that are also found here. Learn how to identify the venomous species, how to react if you see one, and find out why we actually need these snake species in our forest ecosystem. We will also have some live venomous snake examples on hand to study closely.
Free Nature Center programming is provided by Highlands Biological Foundation.
