Vernal Pools: Exploring Giant Puddles!

Puddles come and puddles go, and so do vernal pools! These mysterious, temporary bodies of water are home to many different animals, if only for a short time. Spotted salamanders, wood frogs, and fairy shrimp use these pools to lay their eggs; and turtles visit to find food. Join us for crafts and hands-on activities with microscopes and hand lens inside; and then venture outside to explore these unique and magical wetlands.

The whole family will enjoy this adventure, but dress for the weather – the salamanders don’t care if it’s raining and neither do we!

Pre-registration and payment requested to ensure proper staffing.
