Vernal Pool Walk
April 23, 2016, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Celebrate Environmental Education Week! On April 23, we will measure and document the vernal pool with special guest biologist Cathy Bevier.
Big Night is when the first amphibians wake up during spring to migrate to breeding spots on one rainy, warm evening. It is an exciting time to go walking at night! Come join us for one of these walks in which we will learn the common frogs and salamanders that have emerged from their long winter nap. Hear the lovely calls of our earliest spring frogs in our Maine forest! Please bring a flashlight and wear boots.
Please call or email us to register for a Vernal Pool Walk! We want to make sure the walks are not making a huge impact on the lovely pool near the museum and that our visitors have a great experience. For all other programs, visitors do not need a reservation to participate unless noted in the program's description.
Please note: If there is hard rain or the temperature is below 40°, we will cancel. Check our Facebook page for updates on the day of each event.
