Help monitor the status of vernal pools in Norvin Green State Forest! What is a vernal pool, you ask? Why, it’s a great place to observe various species of frogs and salamanders laying their eggs in the springtime, of course. We’ll put on hip waders and boots to count the various species of amphibians (including egg masses, tadpoles, larvae, and adults) such as wood frogs and spotted salamanders. Through this program prepared by Weis educator Tony DiLemme and herpetologist Peter Warny we will create a vernal pool amphibian database that can be updated every year to observe the changing status of the amphibians. A great program for teens, college students, and adults who are interested in amphibian biology and wish to do some real fieldwork.
