Snake Supervisors
Survey for the Slithers and Scales Who Support Our Ecosystems
Many people are afraid of snakes, but don't fear, snakes are pretty gentle creatures. Our slithery friends get a bad rap, when actually they are great allies. Snakes keep mice and other rodent populations in check, and even keep insect populations like slugs controlled too. Unfortunately most snake species are in decline due to habitat loss, road mortality, and intentional killing due to irrational fears. We are losing the benefits that snakes give our ecosystems.
Do you want to help our misunderstood friends have a brighter future? Become a snake supervisor today!
As part of our team you will learn how to identify where these slithery sentinels are hanging out and help them thrive! When they prosper they also help to keep us healthy by keeping rodents or other raiders in check!
We offer online tools to guide you.
Please contact us with questions or to book a phone/online meeting for more support!
