The speaker will be Warren Schmidt of Biodiversity Nature.
Warren has spent time studying these urban impacts on a site just a few kilometres from the Modderfontein Reserve.
The meeting will take place at the Modderfontein Town Hall, 1 Casino Road at 7:30pm on June 21.
Warren spends many mornings searching for lizards and snakes, often tripping over birders who are trying to see their targets catching early worms.
He avoids generating peculiar looks of disbelief by pretending to be one of the many birders rather than a singular herper (or snake fancier).
Warren has worked as a curator of reptiles at the Transvaal Snake Park, and a farm manager at Kwena Gardens Crocodile Sanctuary.
He has had a lifelong interest in reptiles and amphibians and is a long-standing member of a number of herpetological societies.
Visitors are welcome to attend this meeting and learn about the MCS.
