>компютриthe past year, the Wildlife Discovery Center at the historic Elawa Farm has undergone an extreme facelift. Now that we can see light at the end of the tunnel, we are now planning our grand re-opening later this spring. Our new Grass Is Rattling exhibit area will ble the new home for our venomous reptile collection but we have some long range plans to have an indoor “Discover the Middlefork” exhibit featuring a variety of turtles, snakes, frogs, salamanders and a few other surprises. Our outdoor “Discover the Middlefork” trail is opening this summer and will feature an interpretive trail, wildlife viewing deck, outdoor turtle pond and much more.
Our GIR exhibit hall will feature a variety of brand new exhibits for the following: Thai the King Cobra, our bushmaster, and our two mambas. Additionally, our resident alligators are taking up residence in this area.
The picture (if I did it right!) shows one of my staff who was on a recent herping trip to northern Florida. Mike Knoerr, Bryan Suson and Gavin Brink took a road trip to the S.E. and on their last day, fulfilled one of Mike’s lifelong dreams - catching an alligator snapper! The smile says it all doesn’t it?
Come out and visit us this spring!
