About this event
This unique training session at Restoring Lands Preserves offers a chance to learn about local wildlife conservation. Participants will be guided through the process of searching for reptiles and amphibians beneath cover boards, an essential skill for monitoring these species. The event is designed for volunteers eager to contribute to conservation efforts, providing all necessary tools and guidance.
The session encourages participants to dress appropriately for the weather and prepare for some light hiking off the beaten path. With tools provided and the opportunity to learn from experienced guides, this is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in ecology and conservation. Whether you're a seasoned naturalist or a curious beginner, this training promises to be both educational and rewarding.
