Snake Identification & Awareness: Myths, Safety, and Coexisting with Our Slithery Neighbors

From the yard to the hiking trail, snakes are part of life in Lyons—and knowing how to respond makes all the difference.

Join Gil Sparks, Gwydion Winklemeyer, Robyn Sloan, and Mat Huey to learn more about our region's snakes. This lively, interactive panel will help you replace fear with knowledge while learning to identify, respect, and coexist with our local snakes.

In this engaging program, you’ll get answers to questions like:

Is it venomous or harmless?
How do I safely manage a snake encounter?
What should I do if a snake turns up inside?

Expect lively conversation, expert demonstrations, and plenty of opportunities to get your snake questions answered on the spot.
