NHFS Reptiles and Amphibians class

[Brady Hartley]

Hello all,

 

Please help spread the word that there are spaces available in the spring Reptiles & Amphibians class. I'm sure there are students on this list serve who have taken the class, if any of you are thinking about it and have questions. The class location is Oakton High School in VA, which is accessible from the Vienna metro (about a 15 minute walk to the school).

 

Happy spring to everyone!

Brady

I've taken this class.   Liam McGranaghan really knows his subject and the field trips were awesome.  Liam also teaches Birds of Prey that is other class that you should make sure to register for.  I know that some of you are commuting from far away.  I drive from Herndon, Virginia to Chevy Chase, Maryland to attend most of the classes that I take--all I can say is that it is worth the commute to sign up.
