Highlighted Events:
Science Hour: Snakes
- Thursday, Sept. 13, 6-7 p.m. at Escambia County Central Office Complex, 3363 West Park Place, Pensacola
Snakes: most people either love them or hate them. While many people don’t like snakes, they do appreciate the role they serve in our community. Calls to our office often include inquiries such as “How do you know if they are venomous?” and “How can I keep them off of my porch and out of my garage?” This presentation will discuss the role snakes play in our environment and will tackle those frequently asked snake questions.
