A Spring Awakening! It's that time of year again, when spotted salamanders, blue spotted salamanders, and wood frogs migrate from their wintering habitat in woodlands to vernal pools to breed. On rainy nights when temperatures are at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit, you can witness these amphibians on the move, and perhaps help them (but safely!) where road crossings are an obstacle. In some areas when conditions and timing are right, you may see a Big Night with hundreds of amphibians migrating to vernal pools. You can read more about this incredible natural spectacle HERE. You can also become a certified amphibian monitoring volunteer - learn more by visiting the Maine Big Night webpage.

THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS!


Thank you to our volunteer crews for helping to plant trees and shrubs at the Rines Preserve and clear trails at the Moulton's Mill Preserve (above). We will focus our upcoming workday on trail cleanup and removing invasive plants at Moulton's Mill. Hopefully you can join us in the future - it’s hard work but fun and always good to be outdoors! Learn more about volunteering.
