Backyard Snakes and a Bioblitz by Jeff Hall, NCPARC Biologist

NCPARC sponsored two Backyard Snake events during April, targeting local triangle areas to help learn about snake identification and conservation. The events were held in Cary and Apex with each one attracting several hundred attendees. Staff also par- ticipated in a BioBlitz at Carver’s Creek State Park in the Sandhills. One of the species found during this 24-hour survey was a relatively newly described species, the Caro- lina Sandhills Salamander. This was the first adult found in Cumberland County.
