Vernal Pool Explorers with UVM and 4-H

This spring break, become a vernal pool explorer and community scientist!
Bonnyvale is excited to collaborate with UVM Extension and 4-H to offer middle-school youth a chance to contribute to community science by mapping and spotting salamander and amphibian activity in vernal pools around BEEC’s property.
Explore the magical world of vernal pools including:

Learning how to identify salamanders, frogs, and other amphibians and understand their habitats
Mapping and recording wildlife activity for the Vermont Vernal Pool Atlas
Seeking rare critters like the elusive fairy shrimp

After a short training, we will head outside to apply your new skills and collect vernal pool atlas data used by scientists across Vermont. Participants will earn an official Salamander Spotter certificate and community service credit!
