Herping for Beginners - Practice

Herping for Beginners - Practice

Field trip dedicated to the application of the knowledge acquired in the theoretical session, through the search, observation, and identification of reptiles and amphibians in their natural habitat. Participants will learn to use different survey techniques, interpret signs of presence, and with a bit of luck, observe animals safely, responsibly, and without disturbing them.
