Sedgwick Preserve | Walking Ecology + Lecture

Description

Learn about snake habitats, behavior, and the important part they play in our ecosystem.  Rattlesnakes belong to a unique group of venomous snakes known as pit vipers (family name Viperidae) and the rattlesnake is the only pit viper found in California.

The walk will be followed by a lecture in the Tipton Meeting House.  Hayley will present her project, “Predicting the Effects of Climate Change on Thermal Ecology and Energy Budgets of Snakes.”

Hayley Crowell is a M.S. student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo studying the ecophysiology of rattlesnakes for her thesis.

There is a suggested donation of $20 pp in support of outreach efforts at the Reserve.   Class size limited to 40 people.

Participants must wear long pants and closed-toed shoes, preferably leather or other reinforced material (not mesh).
