Snakes are among Missouri’s most misunderstood animals. That’s unfortunate because underneath a snake’s frightful reputation is an animal that performs valuable pest-control services for humans and, with the exception of a few venomous species, is relatively harmless.
People can learn more about snakes on July 27 at virtual and in-person programs put on by the staff of the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Shoal Creek Conservation Education Center. The virtual program, called “Snakes of Missouri Webinar” is from 11 a.m. to noon. People interested in this program can register at
https://mdc-event-web.s3licensing.com/Event/EventDetails/193126
The in-person program will be 2-3 p.m. People can register for this program at:

At both programs, MDC staff will discuss the characteristics of the snake species found in Missouri and the benefits these reptiles provide. They will also discuss how to identify venomous from non-venomous snakes.
Though these programs are free, registration is required. (For the virtual program, people must register so a program link can be sent to them.) Register for either program through the links provided above.
