Membership meeting only

Join Lake County Conservation Council for a special visit to the Orianne Center for Indigo Conservation 🐍🌿 See firsthand how Eastern indigo snakes are being studied and protected and learn what their survival tells us about the health of our water, wildlife corridors, and remaining &ldquo;Real Florida&rdquo; landscapes. Did you know that Indigo snakes are one of hundreds of species that use Gopher Tortoise burrows for breeding and shelter? &nbsp;A few fast facts about Indigo snakes: * They can reach 9 feet in length* They are solitary and non-aggressive* They are carnivorous apex predators. &nbsp;One of their favorite meals is a coral snake. Be prepared to walk a short distance on uneven ground. &nbsp;We recommend a hat and water bottle as it can be warm in December. &nbsp;Also leave a few extra minutes to find the rural location and to park. Please consider a donation to the center as a thank you. &nbsp;They will also have a small selection of merchandise available for purchase.<a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.centralfloridazoo.org/conservation/ocic/" id="isPasted" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Orianne Center for Indigo Conservation (OCIC) - Central Florida Zoo &amp; Botanical Gardens</a> Your registration helps LCCC strengthen local advocacy for responsible growth and the preservation of Lake County&rsquo;s natural resources. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1791926691/wysiwyg/bt0enwffcfjq168woaqk.jpg" style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">
