The History and Future of the Timber Rattlesnake

Dr. Christopher Howey will cover the history, ecology, and conservation of America’s Rattlesnake – the Timber Rattlesnake. In addition to the Timber Rattler, he will discuss the Copperhead, our area's only venomous snake, the Eastern Milksnake and Common Watersnake. There will be safe opportunities to see live representatives of some of these snakes. All snakes will be locked in cages the entire time; however, there will be plenty of interactive moments for kids of all ages, including those that may be referred to as “adults.”

The program is free and open to the public, and light refreshments will follow the talk. The event is sponsored by the Historical Society’s Business Partner, McLain’s Auto Repair, Newfoundland.
