Join NGRREC educators and researchers to explore Illinois' native herpetofauna, frogs, salamanders, turtles, and snakes. Participants will learn about current research on Bird-voiced Treefrogs, salamanders, timber rattlesnakes, and Blanding's turtles. You will get the chance to be in the field and participate in wetland sampling, frog call ID, and radio telemetry. Supplemental classroom resources will be provided to connect field science with student learning. Professional Development Hours are available. Sponsored by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, this workshop is part of the ENTICE (Environment and Nature Training Institute for Conservation Education) program.
