THEIR VALUE, CONSERVATION & SNAKE SAFETY


This lecture is designed for groups of all ages, ideal for: -
 AGRICULTURAL SHOWS
 ALTERNATIVE FARMING EXPOS
 FIELD DAYS & SPECIAL EVENTS ETC



The lecture is educational and entertaining and will hold an audience from beginning to end.  Seldom does a person leave once the lecture has started.

The aim of the lecture is to de-mystify snakes and give people an understanding of the world from the snakes point of view and of how snakes fit into the environment.

Identification and safety are key components of the lecture.  For example:

The nature of each species is discussed so that in the wild, a person can know what to expect from each with some real insight into their natural behaviour and limitations.   In short, learning to live safely with snakes.

Other important venomous snakes of Australia such as: Taipans, Mulgas (King Browns) and Death Adders etc. can be discussed at length or in brief, depending on the audience.

With groups where children are present, the language is modified and modulated so that no important safety points are lost.

Of course FIRST AID for snakebite is always covered, though the emphasis of this lecture is on how to live safely with snakes in the neighbourhood and, to reduce the chance of snakebite to almost zero.  That is by understanding the true nature of the creature without the drama.

The duration of lectures can vary according to need, though for a minimum lecture at least 30 minutes is required.

Risers are useful for the public.  Benches for the kids with higher risers behind for the adults.  Choir stands are great for this or modular bandstands can do the job.  Remember snakes are not huge beasts so people need to be within a reasonable distance to benefit fully from the lecture.

Although fun fairs are by nature noisy places it is easier not to have to compete with oompahpah bands, marching girls or spruikers.   It would be most unfortunate if someone were to miss an important safety point just because of a sudden loud noise.   Of course a fair is a fair and the site does not have to be mouse quiet.

The four dangerously venomeous snakes of Victoria are: - These four snakes are covered in all lectures.

A HANDS FREE MICROPHONE IS REQUIRED.

Please note, this lecture is rarely suitable for fetes.
