Annual Maine Big Night


  • Frog & Salamander Pond Range Road Cumberland, ME 04021 United States (map)

In late March or early April (Mother Nature will determine the date), we organize a group of community members to help our local frogs and salamanders get safely across Range Road from Rines Forest as they awaken from winter and migrate to CCLT's Frog Pond and Salamander Swamp to mate and lay eggs.

CCLT collects important data for the statewide Maine Big Night project and we are thrilled to have your help. We count each species we see, how many dead or alive, and also the number of vehicles that come through. The collected data tracking frog and salamander migration directly influences their conservation outlook. Lead volunteers are on site for you to report your findings. Many families or pods work together for a fun group activity and to not over-report sightings.

Registration for this event is limited and is first made available to our members. Not yet a member? Join here and select the option to sign up for our mailing list to get advance notice of special events like this! Registration will open in early March.
