April Amphibians & Vernal Pools Walk

March 22, 2023

There’s no surer sign of spring than the awakening of a vernal pool—and no better spot to see one than our Greensboro Ridge Natural Area. Join Conservation Biologist Steve Faccio, from the Vermont Center for Ecostudies, for a moderately strenuous off-trail hike to the forested vernal pools at the Greensboro Ridge Natural Area, where we’ll explore the fascinating world of spring-breeding amphibians.

This program is co-sponsored with the Howe Library and Northern Woodlands magazine.

Meet Top of Velvet Rocks Drive, rain or shine. 

Leader: Biologist Steve Faccio.

Level: Moderately strenuous off-trail hiking, about 1.5 miles.

Wear waterproof boots. Suitable for ages 10 and up.
