Peepers, salamanders, and wood frogs, oh my! UVLT is partnering with the Norwich Conservation Commission and the Vermont Center for Ecostudies (VCE) to observe a few vernal pools and identify their current inhabitants.
While we hike we will discuss the importance of vernal pools and why we need to protect them for critters like our local amphibians. VCE Staff Biologist Kevin Tolan will introduce us to the Vernal Pool Atlas (VPAtlas) and how we can contribute to this project by documenting vernal pools.
