After winter’s snow and ice melts, life’s rich pageant gets underway in these biodiversity hot spots. The small, temporary wetlands known as vernal pools provide breeding habitat for forest-dwelling amphibians like Wood Frogs and Spotted Salamanders, but they are much more than that! The more closely you look, the more fascinating critters there are to see. This webinar will explore the variety of life forms and sagas taking place beneath the surface of the water.
