The pools support a variety of life that is tightly adapted to temporary waters including fairy shrimp, wood frogs, salamders, blue spotted salamanders, and vernal pool caddisflies. Due to their small and temporary nature, there is a lot we do not know about vernal pools, like where are they located? What vernal pool species exist in our area? How are they adapting to climate change? This spring, join the growing network of thousands of youth, educators, and community members across the Northeast working to understand the vernal pools in our forests.Join us for in person, educator focused field work on Tuesday, April 14th to learn more about how to get youth involved in monitoring vernal pools in their community.
