The seminar will be at Wingham Memorial Services Club starting at 1pm. The talk will take approximately two hours and will conclude with a question and answer session.
This is a free event that covers snake bite first aid, ways to deter snakes from sticking around if they visit your yard, discussion about common species found in the local area and what to do if you find a snake and want it removed or just want a snake identified.
There will be snake bite bandages that have a shape that changes to indicate correct pressure available to buy at the event. Bandages will be for sale on the day for $25 each and 10 per cent of the profits will go to to Aussie Ark’s Manning River Turtle Project to create an insurance population of the endangered turtle.
If you need a snake removed or identified please call you local licensed snake catcher whose details can be found by a quick Google search for NSW snake catchers and you will find a list of licensed catchers who are trained and insured.
