On Saturday, July 19, join Ranger Sue Duncan as she presents her “Snake Tales” program.  For a number of people, snakes have a bad reputation but most varieties of snakes are quite harmless.  Ranger Duncan will talk about some of the myths that surround snakes.  She will also introduce a few of her “friends.”  Everyone is invited to attend this free program.  It will be held at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) at the Woodland Fire Circle behind Area B in the Bandy Creek Campground.  In case of rain, the program will be moved to the Bandy Creek Visitor Center; please bring a chair.

On July 19 and 20, Park Guide Shauna Delk will talk about plants you may find in your backyard.  Is it a weed or is it an herb?  Will it help you or will it harm you?  What is the history of these plants?  Where can I find them?  This program is the first in a series of four on wildcrafting.  It is suitable for all ages.  On Saturday, Ranger Delk will present the program at 4:00 p.m. EDT at the Bandy Creek Visitor Center.  On Sunday, the program will take place at 3:00 p.m. EDT at the Scott County Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center, located on Highway 27 just north of the junction of highways 27 and 63.
