Vernal Pools and Emerging Life in The Preserve

Bob Russo, ecologist and Ivoryton resident, will lead a hike in the Preserve to help you search for salamanders, frogs and plants emerging from the long winter. He will describe the biological and geological features that make the vernal pool areas unique and bountiful. Meet at the first/East Preserve parking lot. Approximately 1½ hours duration (for the event; hike is 10-15 mins in/out) over easy to moderate terrain. Bring tall waterproof boots and nets if you have them. Open to all ages. Kid Friendly: recommended for Ages 6+. Parking is limited so please carpool if possible. This hike is weather dependent. Please check our Facebook page for updates.
