Vernal pools are a vital breeding habitat for resident amphibians and invertebrates such as wood frogs, spotted and blue-spotted salamanders and fairy shrimp. The Mattapoisett Land Trust is once again offering an introduction to vernal pools, this year through a field trip into the Woodcock Preserve.
On Saturday, April 15 at 1:00 pm., we’ll meet at the Tinkhamtown Woodlands parking area on Long Plain Road. We´ll then proceed a short distance on the MLT Woodcock trail to the vernal pool. Together we will have fun learning about vernal pools and exploring a beautiful one.
The exploration is free and open to all, including residents of other towns. Please wear appropriate clothing, including rubber boots. The exploration will take place rain or shine. See MLT’s online event calendar to RSVP and follow on social media for more information and updates.
