Ozark, Ala. (WDNews) — The Dale County Alabama Extension is looking for 10 Dale County residents interested in learning how to identify and safely handle venomous snakes during a free hands-on workshop next month.
According to organizers, the all-day workshop will take place June 8 at the Ozark Civic Center and will include live snake handling training alongside local first responders.
Participants will use snake hooks during the training and will work directly with live snakes as part of the educational experience. Lunch will also be provided.
Officials said the workshop is designed as an adult learning opportunity due to the live handling component.
Anyone interested or seeking more information is encouraged to call or text 334-465-0784 to reserve a spot.
