April Salamanders | But Why Adventures! Northeast Nature

Each spring, amphibians journey from wintering locations on upland slopes down to the puddles and ponds to mate and lay their eggs. Rainy nights in April are a great time to spot some otherwise rarely seen creatures! Host Jane Lindholm is joined by herpetologist Kate Kelly to help salamanders and frogs avoid getting hit by cars as they make their way to vernal pools. Then we visit a vernal pool during daylight hours to learn more about the life cycle of elusive mole salamanders.
