Current efforts include ongoing disease monitoring in wild populations of venomous snakes long-term evaluation of artificial refugia sites species recovery efforts for the New Mexico Ridge-nosed Rattlesnake assessing the feasibility of restoring habitat and connectivity between two isolated Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake populations through a collaboration with Dr. Eric Hileman at West Virginia University and assisting Dr. Margres at the University of South Florida in collecting venom samples from Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes across their range to study population dynamics asses species status identify threats and better inform conservation decisions. In addition to our own internal research programs The Rattlesnake Conservancy provides grant funding to researchers around the world whose work aligns with our mission and goals. Since 2020 we have funded projects impacting numerous venomous snake species from the Florida peninsula to the slopes of New York the desert southwest to the barrier islands of southeast Georgia the rainforests of Mexico to the mountains of northeast Brazil. 65721 200 5025 Our Education Programs are designed to inspire a lifelong commitment to conservation and cultivate a deep connection with the natural world. We believe that providing environmental education and instilling a love for nature in children plays a vital role in conservation and therefore directly supports our mission. To this end we offer many innovative education programs and experiences for all ages including reptile encounters community outreach events visiting classrooms on-site and off-site field trips day camps guided hikes nature excursions and a native venomous snake display which is open to the public. Additionally we produce activities and materials which support state and national science standards and are available completely free for download on our website. These educator resources help children learn how to identify their native snake species learn how to live safely alongside potentially dangerous wildlife and recognize some of the ecological benefits they provide. 123297 0 166991 Our Training Programs have been taught throughout the United States since 2015 and set the industry standard in safe venomous handling practices. These courses empower individuals and professionals with the skills and equipment they need to respond safely to venomous snakes in their communities through a combination of classroom instruction in important topics like native venomous snake species ecology snake anatomy and physiology reproductive behavior venom toxinology emergency snakebite management captive husbandry and more; with hands on techniques like single hooking double hooking bagging and containing venomous snakes. Examples of people who have taken this course are military personnel land managers first responders zookeepers naturalists gardeners park rangers biologists private herpetoculturists field herpers construction workers physicians environmental consultants photographers and more. We currently offer five unique training courses including the Level 1 Venomous Handling Certification Course the Level 2C: Introduction to Venomous Snakes in Captivity the Level 2R: Introduction to Field and Research Techniques a Continuing Education Certification Course and Venomous Snakes on the Jobsite. These courses support our mission and provide an effective model for human-snake conflict mitigation in areas where snakes are likely to come into contact with people. 0 0 0 283525 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 4 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false 5 0 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true false false false false false false FL X X Long Accounting and Tax Service LLC 6234286945 7104 S SKYLARK LN BUCKEYE AZ 85326 Joseph Colbert Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Douglas Noble PhD Vice Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Anthony Daly-Crews Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Fobb Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ryan Zach Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tiffany Bright Executive Director 40.00 5.00 X 41735 0 0 Sean McKnight Director of Programs 40.00 5.00 X 57693 0 0 Christian Jarboe Former Conservation Biologist 40.00 0.00 X 33040 0 0 Adam Austin Former Director of Research 40.00 0.00 X 17708 0 0 Madison Johnston Collections and Office Manager 7.50 0.00 X 592 0 0 150768 0 0 0 false false false 0 0 23650 0 0 47724 0 71374 Research Programs 5100 0 0 0 Education Programs 5025 0 0 0 Training Programs 166991 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 177116 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20507 9283 11224 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 259714 0 0 0 0 0 12031 12031 2000 2000 0 0 136472 136472 0 0 0 0 0 0 36825 36825 0 0 0 0 0 0 3857 3857 0 0 10440 10440 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1910 0 1910 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5547 0 0 5547 348 348 0 0 10860 1508 9352 0 2000 0 0 2000 0 0 0 0 21586 21586 0 0 46934 33688 8236 5010 0 0 0 0 1295 0 1295 0 0 0 0 0 1000 1000 0 0 0 0 0 0 6200 6200 0 0 Payment Service Transaction and Bank Fees 6660 3947 2440 273 Supplies and Equipment 17062 13623 1064 2375 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 323027 283525 24297 15205 0 0 0 0 105654 33126 26813 31267 0 0 5139 9900 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 137606 74293 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 137606 74293 0 0 137606 74293 137606 74293 -63313 0 0 0 0 0 X false false false X 52003 54123 396931 385064 53124 941245 76377 89473 94866 125355 171716 557787 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 128380 143596 491797 510419 224840 1499032 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 340883 336956 16000 693839 0 0 340883 336956 16000 693839 805193 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 128380 143596 491797 510419 224840 1499032 0.5371 0.4951 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Annual Fundraiser 23650 0 23650 0 0 0 2590 3957 7239 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23650 0 23650 0 0 0 2590 3957 7239 13786 9864 true Venomous Reptile Conservation Grant 3 12031 0 Follow up by staff and research committee not applicable Part III Line 1 Column (b) These cumulative $12,031.00 in grant funds were awarded and distributed among the following projects: Michael Brennan: Assessing the use of Restored Habitat by Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes (Crotalus adamanteus), Jenna Palmisano: Genomic and Physiologic Impacts of Pathogens on Sistrurus miliarius barbouri, and David Pounders: The Conservation Genetics of the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake.
