Join the Friends of the Helen Schuler Nature Centre Society and the Paradise Canyon Home Owners Association on Wednesday, May 16th, 2018 from 7pm – 8pm at the Paradise Canyon Golf Resort Restaurant for a Snake Safety presentation.

Lethbridge’s unique coulee location puts us right in the heart of snake country! One coulee dweller who might concern us is the rattlesnake!  Rattlesnakes are out and about - this session will offer excellent information about our slithering neighbours, as well as give tips and tricks for co-existing in peace. 

Everyone is welcome to attend! Donations are greatly appreciated to support the work of the Friends of the Helen Schuler Nature Centre Society.

Friends of the Helen Schuler Nature Centre Society guest speaker Ken Moore, UofL Alumnus ’88 & local naturalist specializing in snakes will share some important information to help you feel more comfortable living with our wild neighbours.
