Community Service
The AHS has a main goal of conservation education.
We feel one of the best ways of accomplishing this goal is to be involved
in community activities and speaking at local schools.
In the summer of 1999, our founding President Bob Reed,
gave a presentation on "Amazing Reptiles of Alabama" at the Forest Ecology
Preserve in Auburn. Bob was welcomed by over 25 Auburn area citizens
with many children in attendance.

Conservation Education
The AHS is involved in educating children of the community
by visiting local schools and presenting our reptile and amphibian conservation
goals. We are currently working to establish a cooperative relationship
with the Auburn Public School system and AHS. For those interested
in inviting AHS to give a conservation talk at their school, please contact
us via email: moosmpr@auburn.edu,
phone (844-4850), or drop by Auburn University, Funchess Hall, room 305.
