A free webinar jointly sponsored by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the Michigan Wetlands Association (MWA), with support from MARC.

Join us for a free webinar presentation by David A. Mifsud, Senior Herpetologist and owner of Herpetological Resource and Management, a conservation company dedicated to the protection and stewardship of amphibians and reptiles.

Amphibians and reptiles (collectively regionally referred to as herpetofauna) are recognized as key indicators of environmental health. Effective conservation of these species requires a thorough understanding of key threats and ways we can reduce these threats. This webinar will provide an introduction to Michigan’s rare and imperiled species of herpetofauna and focus on several Best Management Techniques (BMPs) for minimizing impacts and restoring and improving habitat for Michigan’s herpetofauna. An introduction into the role of the Michigan Herpetological Atlas plays in conservation of Amphibians and Reptiles and how to contribute. The webinar will also discuss the importance to Michigan’s Herpetofauna Habitat Assessment Tool (Herp HAT), as well as some recent modifications to this assessment tool for protecting landscapes and species.
