About Us
The purpose of our organization is to educate students as well as the general public about reptiles and amphibians; to share and produce information about the care, handling, and habits of these animals in nature and in captivity; to promote research of herpetology; and to advance a better understanding and acceptance of reptiles and amphibians Any student at UWSP interested to learn more about reptiles and amphibians, biology, wildlife, or environmental education, is encouraged to join the Herpetology Society! Want to overcome a fear of reptiles and amphibians? We can help with that too! We welcome all interested students regardless of major, minor, or prior experience. As a member of the herpetology society, you will have the opportunity to learn about reptiles and amphibians, meet and network with expert guest speakers in various fields, go on "herping" trips to survey for wild reptiles and amphibians, visit and tour zoos and aquariums behind the scenes, build your animal husbandry skills by working with the live reptiles and amphibians in our captive animal collection, participate in educational programs with live animals on campus and in the local community, get involved in undergraduate research, discover job and internship opportunities in various fields, meet other students who share common interests, and more! We maintain the beautiful scenic vivarium display in the Trainer Natural Resources building on campus as a part of our live animal collection. Join us for our general meetings every Monday when school is in session at 6:00 pm in TNR 120! Follow us on Facebook for more updates: UW-Stevens Point Herpetology Society
