Tuesday, November 24 from 6:30 to 8 pm ET Presenter: Megan Seymour, Biologist at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

This webinar is presented in partnership with the Ohio Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (OHPARC).

Join us for Zoom into Nature: Kirtland's Snake as U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist Megan Seymour takes us into the hidden world of one of Ohio's most elusive snakes. Vibrantly colored yet remarkably secretive, Kirtland's Snakes turn up in some unexpected places, including wetlands, residential lawns, and urban drainage ditches.

Listed as Threatened in Ohio, Kirtland's Snake has long been challenging to study because it is so difficult to find. Megan will share what scientists are learning about its distribution and the findings of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's recently completed Species Status Assessment. Learn more about this unusual snake, the threats it faces, and its conservation status in Ohio and beyond.
