Reptiles at Risk

Back in Orillia!

The summer has passed so quickly! After our three weeks of travel on the road, we are now back at home in Orillia. We've been home a few days now, and it is a little strange readjusting to not being constantly on the move. We had an excellent run of programs in our time away, however, and met lots of great people. We hope that everyone who attended our programs really enjoyed learning about the animals, and is now keeping their eyes open for any reptile species that may be out on the roads this fall.

Our last day of travel programs was spent in Merlin and Blenheim, with large groups at both libraries. No more trouble with the van and trailer either!

In the last couple days we've been doing a few programs closer to home, our closest one of the summer being last Saturday evening at Bass Lake Provincial Park. We often get asked at programs where we are travelling from, and it was nice after being away for so long to be able to tell them that we were only ten minutes down the road. We were outside for the program and had a few concerns with all the blustery weather this week, but most of the rain stayed away that evening.

We'll be finishing up our last few summer Reptiles at Risk programs over the next couple weeks, still staying close by, as well as starting to pull together our fall schedule. Looking forward to keeping you posted!
