8th grade STEM students got an opportunity for some up-close and personal learning about the conservation of native and exotic species from local reptile expert and conservationist Donielle Ross Hodges. They heard about the principles and importance of conservation as they interacted with several species of snakes, spiders, and lizards. Students were inspired as they are wrapping up their own semester project of creating a plan for threatened and endangered species conservation!
