Our April 2023 Program Description:
With the spring season comes our native reptiles emerging out of brumation! Whether you love them or fear them, our native snakes are on the job of pest control in our communities. Amber Leung will bust myths about the native snake species of the Gulf Coast region and share rarely-seen up-close portraits of these beneficial creatures. Join us for proven snake identification tips, must-know information on envenomations from medical experts, stories of field research, and venomous snake relocations, plus LIVE SNAKES in a safe and supportive environment for all levels of comfort.
About our presenter:
Amber Leung is currently an Environmental Educator and Staff Naturalist for Houston Audubon, where she teaches all ages how to make their homes part of a Bird Friendly Community and is also a co-coordinator for Team Houston-Galveston of the 2023 City Nature Challenge. She’s mom to two budding young naturalists (ages 2 and 9). In her spare time, she has shared the virtues of coexistence with our native ecosystem with the community as a Texas Master Naturalist in the Coastal Prairie Chapter since 2015. She also serves her neighborhood community as “that crazy snake lady” with education and volunteer venomous snake relocations.
