Tracing back Grass Snakes

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!


Among the various species introduced to Berlin by humans, there are indications that Grass Snakes (Natrix natrix) from Southern Europe might have been released into the area. Although this species is native to Berlin, the introduced individuals exhibit distinct morphological and genetic differences. To investigate the current Grass Snake population, we aim to collect samples from as many specimens as possible.

We invite scientists and wildlife enthusiasts alike to join us on this exciting field trip! Learn about our research project, witness real-time scientific investigations in the field, and explore the beautiful and unique habitat of amphibians and reptiles in north-western Berlin. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with nature and experience important ecological research!

Join us!
