On July 28, Landmark Park will present the last Animal Adventures program of the summer on reptiles. This special one-hour educational program will provides a unique opportunity to learn about our natural world.

Animal Adventures begins at 10 a.m. in the Park’s Interpretive Center Auditorium. Free with paid gate admission. Registration is required. Call 334-794-3452 to register.

Come learn from Page Whatley about these cold-blooded animals and why some of them are endangered. Visitors will have the opportunity to see some reptiles up close, including a Gopher Tortoise, Easter Indigo Snake, and several other reptiles native to the Wiregrass Region.
