While a few submissions trickled in over the years, during spring and summer of 2020, staff received over one hundred sightings from the public. These reports led to over seventy new rattlesnake locations for both Timber and Pigmy Rattlesnakes. This citizen science effort bloomed even further in 2021 with nearly 300 sightings reported! Hall will share details of this project including interesting behaviors witnessed, habitat evaluations and trail camera work. We\u2019re all abuzz with excitement to share these rattlesnake tales (or is that tails?!) with you!<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ENHFrvr1NSo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Join us on YouTube!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><em>Live Virtual Presentation hosted by NC Museum of Natural Sciences&#8217; SECU Daily Planet Curator Chris Smith and the NC Department of Environmental Quality Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs staff.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can post questions in the YouTube chat or tweet questions to #LunchTimeDiscovery and mention @NorthCarolinaEE.<\/p>\n<p><em>Brought to you by the NC DEQ Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs and the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff Hall, Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Biologist, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission In 2009, the North Carolina chapter of Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (NCPARC) developed a brochure called \u201cRattlesnake Sightings Wanted\u201d and began handing them out at public events.
