Vernal Pool Patrol: Volunteer Training

These valuable ecosystems provide refuge for sensitive wildlife, like salamanders and fairy shrimp. In this two-day training, you will learn about vernal pool ecology, how to record data in Survey 123, gain hands on experience working with and identifying wildlife, and meet local organizations that you can volunteer with to monitor vernal pools around Midland, Isabella, and Clare counties.

The first day of training, April 13, 12-5 pm, will be held at the Chippewa Nature Center Visitor Center.

The second day of training, April 14, 1-3 pm, is optional and will be held at the Little Forks Conservancy’s Riverview Natural Area.

This event is brought to you by Chippewa Nature Center, The Little Forks Conservancy and Chippewa Watershed Conservancy.
