These conflicts can result in a person experiencing a \u201cnuisance\u201d encounter with a snake, or, in rare cases, a snakebite requiring immediate medical attention. The snake, on the other hand, might end up being killed outright, or moved out of its home range (which is more humane, but still bad for the snake). Overall, human\u2013snake conflicts result in negative outcomes for people and snakes, and if left unmanaged, could undermine conservation efforts.<\/p>\n<p>To help prevent conflicts between people and snakes, a few years ago WPC&#8217;s team installed six informational signs at strategic trailheads to inform park users on the presence of venomous snakes and measures to prevent snakebite. We weren\u2019t sure, however, if the signs would be noticed, read and understood by our target audience. So, to determine whether or not the signs were effective at increasing park user awareness of massasauga presence, status and threats, and snakebite prevention, we conducted random questionnaire surveys before and after the signs were installed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-83j3431-4062b94fa75243f88784cfdda78cc5ea av_one_full  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mseskhoh-8611cdd5920f908e497333b6f9d733ee\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mseskhoh-8611cdd5920f908e497333b6f9d733ee img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mseskhoh-8611cdd5920f908e497333b6f9d733ee .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mseskhoh-8611cdd5920f908e497333b6f9d733ee av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-10  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img class='wp-image-54810 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-54810 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/InvestigatingEffectivenessOfSignageInEducatingThePublic_MassasaugaHabitatSign_J.Choquette.png' alt='' title='InvestigatingEffectivenessOfSignageInEducatingThePublic_MassasaugaHabitatSign_J.Choquette'  height=\"738\" width=\"1019\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-7gpl7l9-ff8e9bb1289b2f373b9a55f608303c57\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-7gpl7l9-ff8e9bb1289b2f373b9a55f608303c57{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-7gpl7l9-ff8e9bb1289b2f373b9a55f608303c57 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-msesktww-f2328e3d82683f3d865fc56eec475bf2'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Massasauga rattlesnake (Sistrurus catenatus) informational sign installed in late August 2016 at 6 trailheads at the Ojibway Prairie Complex and Greater Park Ecosystem, Windsor, ON.

We found that awareness of the presence of massasaugas increased significantly after sign installation (79% of park users questioned), whereas awareness of status, threats, and snakebite prevention methods did not change.We also found that the majority (65% &#8211; 87%) of park users questioned were supportive of massasauga recovery initiatives.
