After the GREAT success of the February meeting, we want to get some task force teams established. Please email Edi (sonntage@msu.edu) if you are interested in working on any of these topics.

1) Herp Based Lesson Plans for Michigan Teachers
2) MI Herp information database framework and plan
3) Good Herp Pet/Bad Herp Pet Manual
4) Identifying Herp Hot Spots in Michigan

Remember, the MWPARC meeting will be in Howell in August, more information will be out on registration soon!

Also, a couple people from MIPARC are heading down to the Indiana Dunes BioBlitz (see events below) so if you are interested, get registered! It should be a fun weekend!

Welcome - please feel free to contact Edythe Sonntag (either on this site or at sonntage@msu.edu) for any assistance with this website or for more information about MWPARC -- Thanks

If you have an idea for a MWPARC in Michigan Logo, please post it and let us see your skills.Here's one idea!

We would like to welcome everyone to the Mid West Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (MWPARC) in Michigan Network site. For more information on PARC, please see http://www.parcplace.org. For more information on MWPARC, please see http://www.parcplace.org/midwest.html.

Our goals are simple..
1) Get people talking across specialities, interests, and careers regarding amphibians and reptiles.
2) Work together to protect Michigan's amphibians and reptiles in a cooperative and realistic manner.

We hope to do this through education, resources, training, and communicating clearly about statewide herpetofauna concerns and needs.

This site has sections for forums, photos, video, events, and more. Feel free to start discussion groups, post information on upcoming herp related meetings and trainings, post job searches, network for education programming and anything else related to herp conservation in Michigan.

We hope you become engaged in the dialog and reach out to the network when you need information and expertise in Michigan.

Welcome to Everyone!
