This herpetologist wants to talk about frogs next Saturday. What’s a herpetologist?

Herpetologist Dr. Marc Hayes, who also works with a local group called Stream Team, is set to present a free workshop on the ecology, habitat requirements and unique characteristics of local frog and salamander species next Saturday.

The class is best suited for those 12 and older, according to a news release.

The workshop is set for 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. Jan. 27 at the LOTT Wet Science Center, 500 Adams St. NE, Olympia.
