Ask a Naturalist - Living with Snakes - Live Q&A with Ken Moore
On Wednesday September 9, 2020 we hosted a Live Q&A with local snake expert Ken Moore in partnership with the Helen Schuler Nature Centre. This 1 hour live presentation provided an overview of the snake species living in Lethbridge. The program addressed practical tips on how to coexist with snakes in our city as well as what to expect as the seasons change & snakes migrate back to their winter den sites.
You can watch the program below! If you have questions about snakes, you can always contact the Helen Schuler Nature Centre to learn more.
