One newt, two newt, red newt, brown newt…Discover the hidden world of amphibians and reptiles right here in Clark County. Assist with field surveys at Critter Count, the fun and family friendly springtime event for all ages.
Come out to the Water Resources Education Center (4600 SE Columbia Way) for a brief training session at 9:00 am on April 8th and learn proper surveying techniques.
Then you will team up with an experienced field biologist and carpool to one of four designated areas to count critters for the next few hours. Please bring boots, warm clothes, an appropriate jacket, a sack lunch, and binoculars (if you have them). Snacks, drinks and other equipment will be provided.
The crazy critter fun will continue at the Water Resources Education Center from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm.
There will be two live critter shows, learn from guest field guides about all sorts of reptiles and become a “Herp Hero” as you discover things to do at home to protect critters and provide the clean water they need.
