Vernal Pools: Exploring Giant Puddles!
Saturday, March 27, 10:00-11:30AM
$5 members/$7 non-members per person
Pre-registration and payment requested to ensure proper
staffing.
Appropriate for ages 5 and up
Puddles come and puddles go, and so do vernal pools! These
mysterious, temporary bodies of water are home to many different
animals, if only for a short time. Spotted salamanders, wood
frogs, and fairy shrimp use these pools to lay their eggs; and
turtles visit to find food. Join us for crafts and hands-on
activities with microscopes and hand lens inside; and then
venture outside to explore these unique and magical wetlands.
The
whole family will enjoy this adventure, but dress for the
weather – the salamanders don’t care if it’s raining and neither
do we!
