Matt Burne, a herpetologist and conservation director for the Walden Woods Project, will lead a walk to explore a vernal pool in Lincoln. Participants will look for signs of spotted salamanders, wood frogs, and fairy shrimp, and will hopefully see some creatures up close as well. Listen for the wood frogs’ duck-like calls and the high-pitched chorus of tiny spring peepers, a species of tree frog. Learn about the importance of vernal pools and how to protect them.
Dress for weather conditions. Participants should wear footwear for a one-mile walk and wet ground conditions. Co-sponsored by Lincoln Land Conservation Trust, the Walden Woods Project, and the Lincoln Conservation Commission.
