Have you ever held a tiny turtle or gazed into the eyes of a charming milk snake? No? Fear not! Tom Tyning is heading back to Lake Mansfield on Wednesday, July 15th at 10:30AM (rain date: Thurs 7/16) so that families can get up close and personal with creatures that we usually just get to glimpse.
This is a fun family event designed to connect kids and their adults to nature. We will meet at the Lake Mansfield Beach Area. Please bring a blanket for sitting. You might also want to consider a trail walk and/or swim before or after Tom's presentation. Accessible walking trails are available within the adjacent Lake Mansfield Conservation Forest and along the Lake Mansfield Shoreline Trail.
Tom is professor of environmental science at Berkshire Community College, author of A Guide to Amphibians and Reptiles, and an expert Berkshire County naturalist. His enthusiasm and excitement for the wiggliest and scaliest creatures is contagious! We can’t wait to be captivated again this summer by his terrific stories and by his friendly reptiles and amphibians.
