​
Jarrod Paine, or ‘JP’ as you may know him, has been an education outdoors teacher for 24 years, 20 of which were spent teaching at Outdoor School Bogong campus, snake central in the Victorian Alpine National Park. Snake observations and encounters were regular and not always positive and this spurred JP to follow his love and passion toward conserving native animals and become a qualified, licensed Snake Catcher, trading as Kiewa Snake Catcher. Still he wasn’t satisfied; next was the project to author and have published ‘Snakes Awake’, the best children’s picture story book for crating and awe and wonder toward snakes replacing fear and indoor living, while also including essential safety and first aid information. To continue caring for humans and snakes he also offers a limited number of engaging workshops.
