Nan Evans welcomes back Ric Brewer to continue their "snail tales" conversation with a discussion of the native snails and slugs of the Pacific Northwest. Our moist temperate climate is just right for these gastropods (that means "stomach-footed"). And, for a final conversational treat, consider eating snails (i.e., escargots) on your pizza or pasta (part 2 of a two-part program). (Airdate: May 8, 2024)
Join Ric on a Gastropod Gallop, a guided walk exploring the inhabitants that dwell at ground level: snails and slugs.
