"Our mission is to expand and deepen public and personal
knowledge of reptile natural history and conservation through education, outreach, and hands-on experience." - UMHS Mission
Statement
The University of Missouri Herpetological Society was started in 2007 by group of students
and faculty interested in reptile husbandry, natural history, and conservation. UMHS stresses the importance of continuing
education and broadening skill-sets while retaining a down to earth attitude.
Currently, UMHS
holds monthly meetings that are open to the public. Please go to the "Upcoming Events" page to see meeting
and presentation dates and locations.
Due to University policy, only students/staff of the University of Missouri can become official members of UMHS.
However, UMHS believes herpetology is for everyone to enjoy and encourages any interested person to attend
our meetings and events. If you are a student/staff member and wish to join UMHS, please
contact UMHS President Leslie Crawford via e-mail. Please see the "Board of Directors" page
for Leslie's contact information.
