Little Creatures in Your Garden\u201d Talk at Crocworld Conservation Centre<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"Warren<\/a><\/p>\n

Warren Dick<\/p>\n

On Saturday 18 May, Crocworld Conservation Centre will be hosting well-known pastor, photographer and snake-catcher, Warren Keith Dick, as part of its monthly lecture series. The event, which commences at 09h00, includes an Early Bird Breakfast, and will be held at the Fish Eagle Caf\u00e9. For a minimal cost of R50.00, guests will also have access to the Centre\u2019s vast reptile and bird sanctuaries, enjoy breakfast and the talk.<\/p>\n

Dick\u2019s talk on Garden Creepy Crawlies entitled \u201cLittle Creatures in Your Garden\u201d is based upon his vast experience in photographing small creatures. \u201cThrough my photography I love to bring awareness to people about the thousands of small things found in nature, and even right in your back yard, if you would just take the time to look,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

An amateur herpetologist and entomologist, Dick is also a self-taught photographer. His pictures of minute creatures have been published locally and globally, and he writes a weekly column \u201cNature\u2019s Calling\u201d in the local Southland Sun newspaper.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy passion for snakes and other reptiles came naturally with my curiosity about small creatures. It has taken many hours and lots of patience to perfect the art of photographing small things,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dick believes that education is better than eradication, and that everything was made for a specific purpose. \u201cOnce we realize the purpose of something, we become far less fearful and far more tolerant of it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur area is blessed with a unique and rich blend of fauna and flora, and a person with Warren Dick\u2019s experience, will surely enlighten the audience with his tremendous knowledge, especially when exploring creatures which seem small, but play an intricate part of the ecosystem,\u201d said Martin Rodrigues, manager of Crocworld Conservation Centre.<\/p>\n

Registration for the talk is at 08h30. For more information or to make a booking, contact Morne van Zyl at the Fish Eagle Caf\u00e9 on 083 658 7073 or email mvanzyl@cbl.co.za. Alternatively contact Martin Rodrigues on 078 484 1859 or Crocworld Conservation Centre on 039 976 1103.<\/p>\n
