The Florida Chapter of The Wildlife Society will hold its 2010 Fall Business Meeting during October 26-27, 2010 at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, Fort Lauderdale. There are 6 cabins with 12 beds in each. There is no need for reservations and cabins will be split into guys and girls. Bed linens will be provided, however you will need to bring your own towel(s). A Bar-B-Que social and a continental breakfast will also be provided.
FLTWS, The Nature Conservancy, and The Institute for Regional Conservation are also offering a unique opportunity in the form of a FREE workshop. The workshop will be in two parts; Python Patrol training and Exotic Plant training. The Python Patrol training will teach you how to properly ID, catch, and collect pythons. The Exotic Plant training will teach you how to ID and effectively treat southeast Florida invasive exotic plants. The Exotic Plant training will also provide 4 continuing education credits for your herbicide applicators certification. This FREE workshop will be limited to the first 60 people that register, and only 24 will be able to handle live snakes! DON’T WAIT, register now! You must complete and submit a registration form even if you are only attending the FREE workshop. If you want to be one of the 24 snake handlers, you also must complete and submit the permission form with your registration form.
UPDATE: All 24 snake handler openings are full for the Python Patrol section, but there are still 10 of the total 60 workshop openings available. Don’t delay, register today!
