Wicked Big Puddles: Lecture on Vernal Pools

As snow melts and warm spring rains fall, large puddles form in the woodlands of Winchester. Many of these vernal pools dry up by early summer, and it's a race against time for many fascinating creatures that depend on these temporary ecosystems. Come learn from resident Nancy Yin, of Winchester Trails & Mass. DEP, about the secret life and natural history of these fascinating creatures, their importance to our conservation lands and what you can do to help them --- You may never look at a puddle the same way again!
