Professor Roger Conant [ photo ] and a small group of reptile enthusiasts
and herpetologists founded the Society in 1952. PHS is among the oldest
herpetological societies in North America. PHS is a IRS approved
501c3, non-profit, tax-exempt organization.
The Society owns and operates a nature preserve in Southern New Jersey for threatened and endangered reptiles and amphibians (and other wildlife/habitat.)
We welcome anyone that shares our interests and conservation
goals. Our volunteers range from professional academic herpetologists to students
and hobbyists interested in applied herpetology (i.e. herpetoculture.) If
you live, work or visit in Southeast Pennsylvania or Southern NJ, please
consider joining our group! If you would like to be a speaker or field trip
guide, please contact the president.
