Description: Crafting Critters: Learning about Snakes!
Location: Edgar Evins State Park
No fear here! Discover just how cool the native snakes of Tennessee are, all while making your own crafted version with SIR Dixie. In this program, you will meet a few of our snake ambassadors, learn how to identify them, and understand why they are important to have in our ecosystem!
After we have learned a little bit about them, we will create our own slithery friend to bring home! This unique craft uses paper plates and paint to create a spiral snake with whatever pattern you can come up with! Try to create a replica of one of our own native snakes, or create and name your own new species!
