Scales and Tails is Cape May County 4-H’s Herpetology Club which started in the fall of 2013. The club has studied and interacted with a number of reptiles and amphibians at meetings, visited behind the scenes at the Reptile House at the Cape May County Zoo, participated in the Frog Hike and Talk at Cape May Point State Park, and volunteered in the community. Meetings are held the first and third Fridays of the month from September to June at the Lockwood 4-H Youth Center.
So, come learn new things and meet some of our scaly friends. For more information about the clinic or the Scales and Tails program, please call Club Leader Louise Sugar at 609-465-5336.
The 4-H Youth Development Program is part of Rutgers Cooperative Extension. 4-H educational programs are offered to all youth, grades K-13, on an age-appropriate basis, without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.
