Pittsburgh Botanic Garden offers the public an opportunity to connect with the nature right in the heart of the city, and it will be running a family-friendly workshop that will introduce some of its lesser-known residents.
The Garden has scheduled an activity that will give its reptiles and amphibians time in the spotlight. Naturalist April Claus will guide the learning, and it will be an interactive, hands-on experience for the attendees.
The group will learn how to recognize some of the most common species seen in the area by using their senses of sight and sound, and they will also learn about the venomous snakes that call the area home so that they can avoid unpleasant interactions. Turtles, snakes, salamanders, and toads will be on hand, and as this will be an ‘in the field” activity, everyone is advised to wear their boots and be prepared to get muddy.
An in-person class offers an opportunity to learn about the outdoor world. Field guides, species ID sheets, and other items for an environmentally focused workshop can be ordered from an area flyer printing company.
Pittsburgh Botanic Garden will be providing this introduction to the reptiles and amphibians that call the area home on June 10. It will head out from the meeting point located at 799 Pinkerton Run Road at 10:00 am.
