SUMMARY:Vernal Pool Exploration @ Hall's Lake Natural Area
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, May 5th\, as we kick off Amphibian Week by exploring the fascinating world of vernal pools! Vernal pools are seasonal wetlands that typically fill with snow melt and spring rains but dry out during the summer months. Because of the seasonal nature of these pools\, fish are unable to survive in them. That makes them the preferred habitat for the reproduction of amphibians such as wood frogs\, spotted salamanders\, and blue-spotted salamanders.\n\nBe sure to wear rubber boots so you can better explore the pools! Boot disinfection station will be provided.\n\n\nDirections to the preserve: http://bit.ly/Halls-Lake-Natural-Area\nShareEmailTwitterFacebookRedditTumblrPinterestLinkedIn

SUMMARY:Vernal Pool Exploration @ Hall's Lake Natural Area
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, April 24th\, as we explore the fascinating world of vernal pools. Vernal pools are seasonal wetlands that typically fill with snow melt and spring rains but dry out during the summer months. Because of the seasonal nature of these pools\, fish are unable to survive in them. That makes them the preferred habitat for the reproduction of amphibians such as wood frogs\, spotted salamanders\, and blue-spotted salamanders.\n\nBe sure to wear rubber boots so you can better explore the pools! Boot disinfection station will be provided.\n\n\nDirections to the preserve: http://bit.ly/Halls-Lake-Natural-Area\nShareEmailTwitterFacebookRedditTumblrPinterestLinkedIn

SUMMARY:Spring Migration Watch @ Hall's Lake Natural Area
DESCRIPTION:Join us in witnessing the spring migration as vernal pool obligate species return to their ancestral breeding grounds on the first warm\, rainy evenings of the season. These amphibians show immense site fidelity\, most returning to the same pools they were born in.\n\nWe expect to see Spotted Salamanders and Wood Frogs at this site. Blue-spotted Salamanders have not been observed here yet but are a possibility. Northern Leopard Frog\, Green Frog\, Northern Spring Peeper\, and Eastern American Toad are other amphibian species at this property that may be active. There is always a risk of not seeing our target species\, but we believe time in nature is never wasted!\n\nThis event is weather-dependent and subject to change.\n\nPlease bring a flashlight or headlamp. Rubber boots are recommended. Please disinfect with a 3% bleach solution prior to coming out. Disinfection will be also provided on-site.\n\n**Please be aware on the drive to the preserve that amphibians are on the move everywhere and often are traveling across roads to reach their wetlands. Be mindful on the roads that we do not increase mortalities as we observe these animals.**\n\nDirections to the preserve: http://bit.ly/Halls-Lake-Natural-Area\n\n\nShareEmailTwitterFacebookRedditTumblrPinterestLinkedIn
