Join the Coastside Land Trust on Saturday, September 26, at 11:00 am PDT, as we welcome Dr. Janet Leonard, research associate at UC Santa Cruz. Dr. Leonard will help us to explore the fascinating world of this slimy, shell-less mollusk, commonly spotted on our own redwood forest floor. She will discuss the natural history, reproductive biology, evolution and distribution of banana slugs. Dr. Leonard will also talk about the research that is being done at UC Santa Cruz , and share why these invertebrates are so intriguing to scientists.

This 60 minute webinar is free, and is sure to be educational and engaging for all. There will also be time allotted to address your own banana slug questions. All presentations will be recorded and posted to our YouTube channel.
