Workshops and Junior Herpers

Junior Herpers will gather at Chatsworth Oaks Park, across from the Chatsworth Nature Preserve, where Jarron Lucas will guide the group around the reservoir to do a population count of wildlife and to look at the various field study sites. The study sites (aka “litter piles”) are habitats created out of wood, tin, and other objects. Other activities will be to search for and remove non-native plant species. Junior Herpers will meet monthly throughout the year and go through different phases of this project.

To participate in this activity, you must be a SWHS member and you must make a reservation. Only RSVPs by email will be accepted. All adults must include their CA Drivers License Numbers. If you plan to pick up a herp, please bring your CA Fishing License. Trips usually last until noon. If you have any questions, please call Sharon Shingai (818-517-0255) (sshingai@att.net) or Jarron Lucas (818-995-1761) (jjadroit@earthlink.net). Hope to see you there!
