Vernal Pool Ecology - Tin Mountain Conservation Center

Thursday, May 4, 7pm

Vernal pools are temporary surface waters that are inundated in winter and typically dry up in summer. They provide essential breeding habitat for certain salamanders and frogs, as well as fairy shrimp. Vernal pools are incredibly important on the landscape as they provide temporary habitat for migratory wildlife such as birds and turtles, as well as mid-food chain support for larger wildlife species. Rick Van de Poll will introduce the basics of vernal pool ecology, including, identification and classification, evaluation and conservation of these amazing habitats.
