PORT ST. LUCIE - What might slither down the moonlit trail just ahead? Who serenades you at midnight with a song in his heart and a "Ribbit" in his chest? To find out, don't miss our "Florida's Fabulous Frogs and Friends!" The Oxbow Eco-Center will host its monthly night-time event, Nature at Night, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 2. Ray Goushaw, herpetologist with the St. Lucie Regional Herpetological Society, will give an enlightening program about our "Fabulous Florida Frogs and Friends." After a lively amphibian show, Goushaw will lead visitors on a hike in search of some of these elusive creatures.

In addition to the great variety of Florida frogs Goushaw brings to his programs, he will be bringing a variety of reptile and amphibian species. It is sure to be a fun and educational evening where participants learn about how these animals are a vital part of our Florida ecosystem.

Raymond Goushaw has worked with reptiles and amphibians for more than 30 years and is owner of Herptelogical Breeding Research. He attended George Mason University specializing in herpetology and carnivorous plants. Goushaw dedicates his time to educating the public about the important role reptiles and amphibians play in Florida's ecosystems, in addition to the responsibilities of pet ownership and the practices that are detrimental to the continued survival of these species.

Participants are encouraged to bring flashlights as long as they have a red lens or translucent red tape or tissue paper over the white lens. This serves to protect everyone's night vision during the hike. Nature at Night events are free and open to the public, but space is limited. Reservations are required! To register contact Heidi Vestrem at (772) 785-5842 or send an e-mail to vestremh@stlucieco.gov.
