Reptiles and Amphibians Program with Hudson Highlands Nature Museum
(A Family Program)
Explore the basic characteristics of Reptiles and Amphibians by meeting live animals! This
program features a special emphasis on comparing these two similar but distinct groups of
animals. Particular focus will be placed on the native species of New York and the challenges to
survival that they face. This presentation includes a number of manipulatives such as shells, skins,
eggs, and other animal artifacts providing students with a tactile dimension to their learning. The
program also emphasizes a conservation theme as students learn about native animals of our
region and habitat conservation. (In partnership with the Town of Hurley and West Hurley Library)
