The LA Chapter meets on the first Saturday of the month beginning at 6 pm.

All are welcome!
Founded in 1954 in Orange County, the SWHS has met continuously in a variety of locations over the years. Membership is open to anyone interested in the study & conservation of reptiles & amphibians. Check out our Facebook page!
Location: Our monthly meetings are the first Saturday of the month at 6 pm at the Deukmejian Wilderness Park 3429 Markridge Road, Glendale 91214. We meet in the Ranch House. Enter the park and drive all the way to the very top of the road (past the Stone Barn Nature Center) until the road dead ends. Turn left and park in front of the Ranch House. In winter months the park closes at 6 pm so make sure you are inside before the gates are locked. Park staff will reopen the gates at 8 pm after our meeting to let us drive out.
April 5:
Join us Saturday 4/5/25 at 6 pm when Daniel Chroman will present his research on snake venom use for heart medication. Daniel, our SWHS Audio-visual officer and LA Board representative, is a student at Pierce Community College in a pre-veterinary medicine program. He is currently working on opening up his experience as well as working towards finishing the degree, then applying to veterinary schools.
