SUMMARY:Snake Sense: Separating Myth from Fact (Brunswick)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis event was rescheduled from a previous date. \n\n\n\nGeorgia is home to over 40 species of native snakes\, and only six are venomous! These fascinating reptiles are vital to healthy\, diverse ecosystems and are an important part of our natural heritage.   \n\n\n\nJoin our Coastal Ecology Specialist Kimberly Andrews for an engaging program at our Brunswick office that will help you confidently distinguish venomous snakes from non-venomous species and share practical tips for minimizing risk around your home. Participants will have an opportunity to interact with live snakes from our teaching collection and ask plenty of questions.   \n\n\n\nThis interactive session will challenge common myths and leave you better prepared for future encounters with these often-misunderstood animals.  \n\n\n\nRegistration is required. Content is best suited for children ages 5 and up\, but all ages are welcome. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a registered adult. Tickets are nonrefundable.  \n\n\n\nIf you have questions or need special accommodations for this program\, contact Shannon Matzke at shannon.matzke@uga.edu or call 912-598-2446.

SUMMARY:The Art and Science of Insect Pinning
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExplore the fascinating world of insects while learning how scientists study and preserve them. In this program\, participants will be introduced to insect and invertebrate research\, including the scientific method of insect pinning. \n\n\n\nYou’ll meet Abbey Crossman\, a coastal ecology researcher with Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant\, who studies invertebrates and their vital role in healthy ecosystems. Through real examples from her fieldwork\, you’ll learn how scientists observe\, collect\, and study everyday insects like beetles\, butterflies and grasshoppers. \n\n\n\nParticipants will take part in a guided insect pinning demonstration using paper models\, creating their own museum-style insect displays to take home. \n\n\n\nAll supplies for the craft will be provided. \n\n\n\nRegistration is required. Content is best suited for children ages 7 and up\, but all ages are welcome. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a registered adult. Tickets are nonrefundable.  \n\n\n\nIf you have questions or need special accommodations for this program\, contact Shannon Matzke at shannon.matzke@uga.edu or call 912-598-2446.
