Young people and families who are interested in wildlife are invited to see a variety animal skulls, skins, and mounts from the private collection of local naturalist Tim Matthews. He will share his collection of animal skulls and give pointers on how to identify skulls, both in the field and by using guidebooks. In addition, there will be mammal and reptile skins, along with mounted game bird specimens to examine. Tim will try to answer all your animal questions during this casual drop-in workshop.

Tim Matthews is an active birder, fisherman, and hunter who leads natural history field trips for the SYVNHS and other organizations, such as Sedgwick Reserve. A long-time valley resident, he is currently a Scientific Aide for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife at the Burton Mesa Ecological Reserve near Lompoc.
