Get acquainted with some of our most misunderstood animals, the reptiles! Ranger Mike Walker from Huntington Beach State Park will introduce you to some of our scaly friends, including snakes, turtles, lizards, and alligators. Learn how these animals have far reaching impacts on our local ecosystems, including acting as bodyguards for wading bird chicks, helping marsh residents survive catastrophic droughts, and protecting you from vermin by acting as natural pest exterminators. A few live animals will also be on hand. Brookgreen Gardens, 1931 Brookgreen Drive. Tuesday, 10:30 a.m. Free with gardens admission. (843) 235-6000, www.brookgreen.org
