Spring Salamander & Frog Search

Spotted salamanders and wood frogs spend their days under logs, stones, and other forest-floor objects, venturing out only on cool, moist evenings. Venture into woods and wetlands to search with your family for these fascinating nocturnal animals.

Children must be accompanied by an adult. Dress for the weather with long pants, long sleeves, and boots. If you want extra illumination in the dark, bring a flashlight — ideally one with a red light or covered in a red cloth to avoid removing the group’s natural night vision, if possible. This program will cover wide, flat, gravel-paved trail, with some limited movement off-trail. Off-trail sections may be uneven or slippery and may have obstacles such as exposed tree roots or rocks.

This is a program designed for families with children. Each registration requires at least one adult and one child.

For families—children 5-17
