Snake Week Wonder Walk: Lives of Local Snakes (free and open to all!)

Join us for a fascinating guided walk to learn about snakes native to Southeast Michigan, hosted by researchers with the Davis-Rabosky Herpetology Lab. Guides will share insights into the life histories of these often-misunderstood creatures, highlighting their unique adaptations and survival strategies. Learn about their preferred diets and the vital ecological roles they play in maintaining balanced ecosystems. Come away with an understanding of the importance of snake conservation and protection, shedding light on the challenges they face in the modern world.

Wonder Walks walks are FREE, no registration is required. Wonder Walks are designed for all ages to inspire curiosity and learning from each other through activities that model curiosity and honor nature. If we have a sizeable mixed-age group, we may separate into two sets to offer the same content at different levels of engagement.
Wednesday walks begin at 5:30 pm. We recommend gathering inside the lobby of Matthaei Botanical Gardens about 10 minutes before the start.
