our roots

Herpetology (from Greek "herpein," meaning "to creep") is the study of reptiles & amphibians. 

Our mission is to provide access to quality science education to our community in Richmond, California. We offer hands-on live animal programs for classrooms, summer camps and more. 

Our goal is to open a nature center in Richmond to provide free classes and workshops for the community. Stay tuned as we move toward this.
