Wildlife Monitoring for Snakes

Snakes get a bad rap. For many of us, it is instinctual to feel a sense of imminent danger when these critters are nearby. Unfortunately, sightings are becoming rarer as snakes are indicators of environmental changes. One way we monitor snakes in the area is to conduct snake board surveys. Join us as we venture into the prairie in search of snakes! Long pants, closed-toed shoes and insect repellent are recommended.
