Snake Program at Merkle Sanctuary

This fun-filled program will teach would-be naturalists all about native snakes, from how to identify them to what they eat. This program is open to people of all ages. Participants should bring drinking water, sunscreen, bug spray and walking shoes, and wear appropriate clothing. Please note: The bridge on Fenno Road to Merkle is closed for repairs until further notice. From Rte. 301, take Croom Road. Instead of turning onto St. Thomas Church Road (as most GPS units and maps will suggest), continue on Croom Road, then make a left onto Nottingham Road and a left onto Fenno Road. Merkle will be on your right. Visit the Web site for complete directions. No pets allowed.
