This presentation will go over identifying characteristics of the common snakes and serpents of Maryland in an effort to make folks more comfortable with recognizing them, demystify common misconceptions (venomous vs. non-venomous, etc), and broaden our horizons with one of our most important herps.
NeighborSpace Land Steward, Conor Harrington, will be leading us on this ID and demystification journey. Conor has a B.S. in Ecology and Evolution from the University of Pittsburgh and a M.S. in Biology from San Francisco State University. After recently moving back to Maryland, he is thrilled to be able to protect and improve natural areas for community benefit.
