Get Out! Nature Walk: Vernal Pools
Spring might be taking longer to arrive this year, but you’ve probably noticed the unmistakable chorus of spring peepers signaling that days and nights are finally warming. Vernal pools are coming alive with the return of wood frogs, spotted salamanders, and fairy shrimp. We will get a close-up look at egg masses and other evidence of amphibians in three temporary and isolated wetlands. The walk will be about two miles in total over relatively flat terrain.
