This program is presented in conjunction with the Friends of DuPont Forest and information on the organization will be provided. This week’s topic is the snakes of Henderson County. Henderson County is home to 18 species of snakes. Emphasis will be on the only two venomous snakes found in the mountain region, the timber rattlesnake and the copperhead. This program is free and open to the public.
