To earn their weekly mouse, our snakes travel to schools and libraries to teach children (and adults) why some people are afraid of snakes and what to do if and when a snake is encountered.

Fear of Nature
What happens if an animal attacks us? Is it scary out there? What do we do if we see an animal? These are just some of the questions elementary students ask as we prepare them for their field trip to Imperial National Wildlife Refuge 40 miles north of Yuma, Arizona. And their questions impress upon us how far removed today’s children are from nature.
