"Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake Restoration Case
Study: If You Build It, Will They Come?"
Tuesday, July 12, 2016 (3:00 PM - 4:00 PM ET)
The next presentation in the DoD Natural Resources
webinar series will feature Brandon Ruhe, President of the Mid-Atlantic Center
for Herpetology and Conservation (MACHAC). From 2011-2016, MACHAC studied and
restored a property that transitioned to woody habitats via succession, which
historically contained a significant number of Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnakes
(EMR) and their core habitat. MACHAC implanted EMR on adjacent properties with
radio-transmitters and tracked them pre- and post-restoration. This webinar
will discuss the study's results, which suggest that restoring habitats within
EMR landscapes may be a viable option for land managers and resource agencies.
