Nonprofit to Host Education Program on Snakes in Brownwood

By: News Release
Updated: February 2, 2012
Due to the recent snake escape in a Brownwood home, nonprofit organization For the Love of Nature will discuss and introduce a few native species, such as the king snake and Texas rat snake, and are encouraging families to come experience these reptiles in a non-threatening atmosphere.

For the Love of Nature's Sarah Strom-Kieschnick and herpetologist Jeremy Wilson will be presenting an educational program on their scaly ambassadors.

The presentation will last about one hour and will focus on the snake's life cycle, anatomy, and its place in the food chain.

They will also discuss the myths about these "creepy creatures" and answer questions.

The program will take place Saturday Feb. 4 at the Brownwood Law Enforcement Center, 1050 W. Commerce from 10-11 a.m.
