Each spring, water pools in areas of Maine’s landscape, creating vernal pools. This habitat makes it possible for wood frogs, spotted and blue-spotted salamanders, and fairy shrimp to survive and brings the joyful sound of frog calls with the disappearing snow. These unique habitats and the creatures that live in them are an important part of Maine’s forest ecosystems. In April and May, the wood frog and salamander eggs in pools across the state are hatching, and the young salamanders and frogs are starting to journey out into the nearby forests.
The presentation will touch on the ecology of these systems as well as actions that we can take at the individual property owner, land trust, and community level to support vernal pools and the creatures that live in them.
