As the late-winter rains stir life beneath the forest floor, salamanders begin their annual migration to vernal pools. Join us for this unique experience (at our South entrance 4910 Shoemaker Rd) as it offers you the rare opportunity to witness these secretive amphibians in their natural habitat. Learn to identify different salamander species, search for their eggs, and discover the environmental cues that bring them out in large numbers.
This interactive outing blends fun with education while emphasizing the importance of protecting these fascinating creatures and their fragile ecosystems. Dress warmly and wear waterproof shoes or boots – the trails and wetlands may be wet and muddy. Don’t forget to bring a flashlight and a sense of wonder as we explore the hidden world of salamanders at night!
Please note this event will happen rain or shine!
