Welcome to
the web presence of the: Philadelphia
Herpetological
Society 1952 - 2010 Our 58th Year
|
Professor Roger Conant [ photo ] and a small group of reptile enthusiasts and herpetologists founded the Society in 1952. PHS is among the oldest herpetological societies in North America. PHS is a IRS approved 501c3, non-profit, tax-exempt organization.
The Society owns and operates a nature preserve in Southern New Jersey for threatened and endangered reptiles and amphibians (and other wildlife/habitat.)
We welcome anyone that shares our interests and conservation goals. Our
volunteers range from professional academic herpetologists to students
and
hobbyists interested in applied herpetology (i.e. herpetoculture.) If
you live,
work or visit in Southeast Pennsylvania or Southern NJ, please consider
joining
our group! If you would like to be a speaker or field trip guide,
please contact
the president.
