Whether you’re a hiker, land steward, or just snake-curious, this talk will offer practical tips for coexisting with rattlesnakes and a deeper appreciation for their subtle yet vital presence on the landscape. Adrian Slade will share more about these creature’s fascinating biology, annual rhythms, complex social lives, and strong fidelity to den sites passed down through generations. Learn how they respond to wildfire, habitat changes, and human pressures—and how their presence signals a healthy landscape.

The evening will feature writer and longtime forest advocate Rand Schenck, who will explore how the ideals of Gifford Pinchot, the founding chief of the U.S. Forest Service were shaped, and often misunderstood during the past century of forest management.
