Vernal Pools
January 25, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Tuesday, January 25, 5:00-6:30pm
This webinar will provide an in-depth look at vernal pools and their importance for a special group of amphibians that live in the forest. How do these small, seemingly insignificant wetlands play such an important role in our forest ecosystems? How have amphibians adapted to use the temporary abundance of water in vernal pools to breed?
Our speaker, Dr. Mary Beth Kolozsvary, will share her knowledge of vernal pools, of the salamanders and frogs that rely on this critical breeding habitat, and some of the threats to vernal pools that warrant our conservation attention. We’ll also share a brief update from the Amphibian Migrations and Road Crossings project.
