Walk: Amphibians of Fitzgerald Lake
May 5, 2018 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Walk/talk with Brad Timm
Learn about the fascinating species of amphibians at Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area in this morning hike. Join Brad Timm, who has conducted amphibian research in New England for 15+ years, as we walk the trails and learn about the natural history and conservation of the amphibians that dwell in the streams, breed in the vernal pools, and inhabit the permanent wetlands of this region. Many amphibians are rather secretive, but we’ll keep our eyes and ears peeled for the various frogs, toads, and salamanders that call FLCA home. All ages are welcome and encouraged!
