The Second Circle
CONSERVATION
,We are passionate about preserving the natural habitats and populations of the amazing reptiles and amphibians found in Northern California.
One of the ways we promote conservation is by organizing herping events and hikes. These events provide opportunities for individuals to observe and learn about the native herpetofauna in their natural habitat. We believe that by educating the public on the importance of conservation efforts, we can help ensure a bright future for these amazing creatures.
We also offer annual conservation grants to students conducting research and conservation projects related to California's native reptile and amphibian populations. These grants range from $250 to $1000.
Applications for our conservation grants are due on Steve Irwin Day, November 15.
In addition, we provide conservation tips to our members and the public to help them take action to protect reptile and amphibian populations. These tips include things like not collecting native herps, conserving water, and being mindful of littering and pollution.
At the Northern California Herpetological Society, we are committed to doing everything we can to promote the conservation and welfare of these fascinating animals. We believe that through education, research, and community engagement, we can make a real difference in preserving the natural habitats and populations of Northern California's reptiles and amphibians.

NCHS Herping Events
During herping events, members typically spend several hours searching for reptiles and amphibians in their natural habitats, such as streams, ponds, and forests. Participants are encouraged to practice ethical and responsible herping, which includes minimizing disturbance to the animals and their habitats, and leaving no trace.
NCHS also uses these events as an opportunity to educate members and the public about the importance of conservation efforts for reptiles and amphibians. Through our herping events, NCHS promotes a greater appreciation and understanding of these often misunderstood and under-appreciated animals.
