Home School Class Series

Vernal pools are temporary wetlands which fill with water in the spring and provide vital habitats for many amphibians species. Come and see what’s happening in our vernal pools this spring. We’ll examine the soil surrounding the vernal pool and search for frogs and salamanders in various life stages, as well as other aquatic animals. Wear wading boots or shoes that can get wet (plus a change of shoes) and dress for the weather.

 

Spring is here and that means it’s time for our favorite Herps (reptiles/amphibians) to start re-emerging. We’ll take a hike through the sanctuary to search for Herps & talk about the on going research studies we have here at the sanctuary.

 

Come join us as we explore our fresh water wetlands here at the sanctuary.  Topics will include a discussion of the unique plants & animal diversity adapted to live in freshwater wetlands.
