Details

Join us for a book club chat and naturalist-led hike! April’s book is “Saving Snakes” by Nicolette Cagle. Meet at the Visitor Center.

Snake populations are declining precipitously around the globe, but calls for their conservation are muted by fear and prejudice. Saving Snakes offers a new approach to understanding snakes and preserving their populations–an approach built on respect. Nicolette Cagle has traveled the world in search of snakes, from the Midwest and southeastern U.S. to Cuba, Nicaragua, and Australia, and spent decades conducting natural science research on the patterns of snakes in regions where urban development encroaches upon the natural world. Her book offers a first-hand account of the strange and secretive lives of snakes, and reveals their devastating losses.
