Vernal Pool Walk at Sarah Bishop Preserve

Have you heard the frogs calling recently? Spring is in the air and amphibians have been traveling to vernal pools to lay their eggs. Vernal Pools are temporary habitats formed in spring by rain and rising groundwater that serve as nurseries for salamanders and wood frogs. Join Woodcock staff and members of the Ridgefield Conservation Commission at the Sarah Bishop Preserve to explore the role these important habitats play in the surrounding forest food web, and discover the fascinating amphibians who rely on them for survival.
