When

Feb. 7, 2026. 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Get ready for a 'ssslithery' good time and meet some of our most 'misssunderstood' wildlife-snakes. Learn how these fascinating creatures live, move, and help keep our ecosystem healthy. You'll also discover why snakes deserve respect (and maybe even a little love), hear a few 'hiss-worthy' facts, and if you’re feeling brave, you can even meet a live snake up close.

This program is suitable for all ages. Please call 804-796-4472 or email Rebecca.Whalen@dcr.virginia.gov for more information.
