Reptile Day at Wehr Nature Center Sunday, 6/7

Wehr Nature Center is having Reptile Day this Sunday, June 7 from 1pm - 4pm.

Get up close and personal with a variety of reptiles and amphibians from Wisconsin and around the world. Learn the facts about our slithering and scaly wild creatures. Enjoy an assortment of kids crafts. Refreshments available for purchase.

• See live snakes, turtles,and lizards up close and personal!
• Meet Wisconsin natives like the Timber Rattlesnake and Ornate Box Turtle.
• Learning interesting and fun facts about the cold-blooded creatures.

Sometimes people misjudge these creatures, but they play an important role in our environment. Understanding how snakes, lizards, and amphibians help us can lead to a different approach the next time you see one in the wild. Learning new information and getting involved are the first steps to making a connection with the natural world.

Reptile-themed craft activities and two nature hikes at 1:30 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. also will be part of the event, which runs from 1-4 p.m.
