The Night of the Salamander Join this opportunity to explore a vernal pool with naturalist Beth Herr to observe the spring migrations of local amphibians. When conditions are perfect for the spring migration of local amphibians (the first warm spring rain after the return of the phoebe), they will call to let you now when and where to meet. To be placed on the call list, register with Beth Herr at 228-5635. Dress for the weather and wear boots. It will help to bring a flashlight as well. There is no fee for this program.
