Prairie Rattlesnakes: Guardians of the Grassland In-Person
Join Cameron Young from the Center for Snake Conservation for a night all about rattlesnakes. This presentation follows the fascinating "year in the life" of a rattlesnake, from their winter slumber in communal dens to the high-stakes drama of the summer hunt, combat rituals, and the birth of a new generation. By exploring their complex life cycle and natural history, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how these incredible predators survive and thrive in the Boulder landscape. Come discover why the rattlesnake is a critical, yet often misunderstood, component of our local ecosystems.
This event is organized by a community partner and hosted by the Boulder Public Library.
