This is an open meeting of the Foster's Pond Corporation with a featured presentation by Herpetologist Mike Jones- Hop, Crawl, Slither: Discover the Hidden Lives of Andover’s Amphibians and Reptiles
Take a deep dive into the fascinating world of some of our most underappreciated and ancient neighbors. Our guide is someone who, with humor and enthusiasm, can tell you everything you ever wanted to know (but were too squeamish to ask) about snapping turtles and their cousins.
State Herpetologist Mike Jones was born and raised in Andover and spent 20 years here studying turtles. He explored Foster’s Pond and just about every other turtle habitat in Town. Mike completed a PhD in Evolutionary Biology and Wildlife Conservation at UMass Amherst in 2009 and has studied freshwater turtles at many locations throughout the United States and Mexico. Now Mike serves as MassWildlife’s top expert on finding and conserving endangered reptiles and amphibians.
The public is invited to this event. This event is co-sponsored with the Foster's Pond Corporation.
Come a little early for a slide presentation on Foster's Pond history.
