Amphibian and Reptile Identification Workshop and Search

The Maryland Amphibian and Reptile Atlas is a 5-year atlas documenting amphibian and reptile distributions in Maryland.  The atlas will establish a baseline for future efforts and promote conservation and protection of amphibians and reptiles by systematically documenting distributions throughout the state.  This workshop will train volunteers to conduct fieldwork and document the roughly 95 species and subspecies known to occur within the State.

You are invited to attend a workshop designed to train volunteers to develop this atlas.  The workshop is free but registration is required and space is limited, so contact poves@audubonnaturalist.org to reserve your spot and visit www.anshome.org to learn more! Children 10 and over may participate with adult supervision.

• Help conserve and protect amphibians and reptiles in Maryland!
