45 | “Swamp Rattlesnakes”: Conserving the Eastern Massasauga in Ohio

Dr. Jenkins sits down with Greg Lipps and Brett Rodstrom to talk
about an innovative partnership to conserve a federally listed
rattlesnake.  The conversation begins with some of the
important aspects of massasauga ecology and natural history
relative to their conservation.  Learn about a multiple
agency and organization partnership that has developed to find
and conserve the remaining massasauga populations in Ohio. 
The cornerstone of the partnership is land conservation - land
protection, and habitat restoration and management.  The
future is bright for these ‘swamp rattlesnakes’ in Ohio thanks to
this partnership.
