February Meeting Cancelled due to a possibility of severe weather. See you at the next meeting on March 3.
Very sad news. Joseph T. Collins, founder and director of CNAH, passed away Saturday 14 January 2012 doing what he loved most, chasing herps. He was the author of many books on herpetology, including the very popular Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America, part of the Peterson Field Guide series. More details will be posted as they become available on the CNAH website.
