CALLING ALL LOVERS OF FROGS, SALAMANDERS, SNAKES AND TURTLES!!🥰

This Friday, 9/19 at 8:20 a.m., Caroline will host Rori Paloski and Rich Staffen who will explain how herptiles benefit ecosystems (which includes humans!) and how we can get involved in helping them.

Rori is a herpetologist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in Madison. Rich is a zoologist and conservation biologist in Natural Heritage Conservation for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

You are welcome to submit questions ahead of time for these guests by emailing:

Wisconsin is home to 19 species of amphibians (frogs and salamanders) and 37 reptiles (snakes, turtles, and lizards).

Over half of Wisconsin’s reptiles are endangered, threatened or of special concern. A special concern species means their population is declining and in need of conservation action.

You can help scientists monitor amphibian and reptile populations and protect them from threats like roads, predators, and habitat.

Again, questions for these guests can be emailed to: [email protected]
