Nature Program: Reptilian Neighbors on Saturday

Discover reptiles at our next family nature program, "Reptilian Neighbors" at The Sands Point Preserve on Saturday, 11 a.m.-12 p.m.

A quiet explorer can often spot a turtle on a log in the Preserve’s freshwater pond – but finding snakes and lizards is a bigger challenge.  In this live animal presentation, our presenter will give us a close-up look at a variety of reptiles known for their cool, scaly bodies.

Admission is $10 per car, or free with an Annual Pass.

Pre-registration is recommended. Please email your name and the number of children and adult participants to info@friendsspp.org.
