A Free Webinar with Dr. Bill Hayes
They’re back — it’s spring and rattlesnakes are coming out of hibernation! On Saturday, March 13 from 3:30 to 4:30, Dr. Bill Hayes, Loma Linda University herpetologist, presents a free zoom webinar “Coexisting with Rattlesnakes” all about snakes in our region, and answers your questions. Dr. Hayes’ program explores the secret lives of snakes – how they live in their environment and ours, and how they use their venom to survive. He will also provide insights from the latest research that will dispel widely held myths perpetuated by fear and misunderstanding. Dr. Hayes is a professor of biology and the director of Center of Environmental Studies and Stewardship at Loma Linda U., and has studied snakes in our region since 1996.
