Snakes in good hands

Congratulations to Kristin Stanford, outreach coordinator at Stone Lab (a part of our college) and her collaborators, who were honored as a “Success Story” at the State of the Lakes Ecosystem Conference in Erie, Pa., on Oct. 26. Stanford — aka “The Island Snake Lady” and featured on a popular episode of TV’s “Dirty Jobs” — and team were recognized for their efforts in keeping the Lake Erie watersnake from extinction. Previously listed as an endangered species, the Lake Erie watersnake came off that list on Sept. 15.
