Night Hike to an Amphibian Vernal Pool

March 25, 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Help us survey a special seasonal wetland area this Saturday for emerging amphibians such as wood frogs, spring peepers, and spotted salamanders. Many of these pools have been dry but the recent snow melt and slowly warming temperatures should restart some breeding activity this weekend.
 
* Bring waterproof boots, a flashlight, and a camera!
*To protect the habitat and wildlife we will ask that participants remain on edge of wetlands and that we disinfect all boots that have been in other wetlands prior to entry.
* Permission for after dusk access has been obtained from Susquehanna State Park.
 
LOCATION: We will meet at the parking area on Stafford Road at the confluence of Deer Creek and the Susquehanna. This is about 1/2 mile northwest of the intersection of Rock Run Road & Stafford Road at the Rock Run Mill area.
 
The address that will get you closest is this 806 Stafford Rd, Havre de Grace, MD 21078 but you will need to go up a little further on Stafford Road.
