Presentation provides better understanding of area’s timber rattlesnakes

Submitted by admin on Tue, 07/05/2022 - 16:02

Iowa Department of Natural Resources Conservation Officer Burt Walters recently gave a presentation on timber rattlesnakes. The event even featured a live snake, which Walters said he found two weeks prior and would be on display at the Driftless Area Education and Visitor Center in Lansing through the summer.

Timber rattlesnakes are large, heavy bodied snakes identifiable by their black chevron markings with a white outline and typically bright, golden body. However, they are darker and more grayish in color when preparing to shed, which can be up to three times in a good year. They also gain a new segment of rattles each time they shed their skin.

Submitted by admin on Tue, 06/28/2022 - 14:10

Time and effort from a dedicated board—with help from a network of volunteer coaches and officials, sponsorships from local businesses and support from participating families—allows Bulldog Community Rec to offer around a half dozen sports programs annually. Soccer was added to the list this spring, and attracted 140 kids for three Sunday evening fundamentals camps. (Photo courtesy of Bulldog Community Rec)

Kids are now enjoying “summer ball” through Bulldog Community Rec. “In JK through third, we have 115 kids alone signed up,” remarked the group’s president Danielle Schlake. That doesn’t include the older traveling baseball and softball teams. (Photo by Audrey Posten)
