LGCHS Myspace Page:
For those of you who us myspace, at the end of last year the President Eric Marquette set up a myspace page for the LGCHS.
In the few months it has been in use we have established a network with other Herpetological Societies and Conservation Groups
throughout the world. You can reach it at www.myspace.com/lgchs. Go check
it out !
The LGCHS Library:
As many of you know we recently started the LGCHS Library. This library will contain herpetological
books, journals, magazines, periodicals, tapes, and other herpetological sources.
The current inventory can be accessed through our website and individual items can be checked out for one
month at a time. You can also request specific titles to be added to the library by contacting LGCHS
librarian, Joe Mathis, via a link on the site. The library and its services are another
LGCHS membership benefit and are free to all current members.
Education:
Education is an important part of LGCHS. During the year we have various opportunities to share our interest with the
public. Please contact David
Chiasson if you would like to participate.
Please email Dr. Jeff Boundy when you are out in the field
and can identify reptiles and amphibians that you collect or just observe. He needs census information
