Join us on Thursday March 18th at 7:30 pm for speaker John Urquhart of Ontario Nature. He began his love of the environment like many young boys: mucking around in wetlands and streams looking for “creepy crawly” reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. John will share with us the work being done across Ontario to gather data on Amphibians, Snakes and Turtles. Researchers, citizen scientists and local naturalists organizations can help with the Ontario Herpetofaunal Atlas Program.
He will help us identify species that we can find locally, endangered species and how to report any finding of frogs, salamanders, turtles and snakes as we travel around Ontario this year.
