Welcome to the Greater Cincinnati Herpetological Society

The Greater Cincinnati Herpetological Society is a non-profit organization geared toward the conservation and education of reptiles and amphibians. We were established in 1977 and continue to grow every year. The Greater Cincinnati Herpetological Society exists to provide for members a vehicle for exchange and sharing of resources, information, and ideas pertinent to herpetology. Our goal is to promote zealously, the welfare of reptiles and amphibians, through example, through education of the public and their representatives, elected and otherwise, and through the encouragement of responsible research.

We have a new meeting location beginning February 2024. Meetings are held the first Wednesday of every month at 7:00 pm at the Fernald Preserve and Visitor Center, 7400 Wiley Road, Hamilton, OH 45013. Parking and admission to this building are free. Occasionally meetings will be held virtually or at another location due to picnics and such. Please check this website, our Facebook page, and your emails for the most current information.
