"Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake Restoration Case Study: If You Build It, Will They Come?"

"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.
