!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

Join LLT environmental director Jim Arrigoni and amphibian expert on a stroll through the varied terrain of Selden Creek Preserve. We’ll look at the landscape though the perspective of different species of frogs and salamanders, highlighting different habitats and features that are critical to the survival of these often overlooked wildlife. We will explore vernal pool wetlands, breeding sites for Wood Frogs and Spotted Salamanders, which will be in full flourish, teeming with amphibian egg masses and maybe even early tadpoles. American Toads, Red-spotted Newts, and Spring Peepers are other species we may encounter.

He will also demonstrate how you can contribute to science by sharing your amphibian observations on iNaturalist by joining the Wild Lyme Project.

Space is limited. Register: jim.arrigoni@lymelandtrust.org

This is a follow-up to an amphibian slide show on April 4. Attendance at the slide show is not required to attend the walk.
