Description
Discover the incredible creatures that live on the forest floor and visit vernal pools in the spring. At this all-outdoor program, we will introduce you to local amphibian life while searching for species like wood frogs, red efts and spotted salamanders in their natural habitat. You'll also learn what you can do to protect these incredible animals.
This evening program will spend time around one of our vernal pools, so waterproof shoes and a flashlight (preferably one with a red light to avoid disturbing wildlife) are great items to bring for this program.
See below for more information about the terrain and distance covered during this program.

Instructions
Meet in front of the red barn at Pleasant Valley. After parking in the main lot, begin entering the sanctuary and the red barn will be visible on your left.
This program will cover up to 1.5 miles of unsurfaced trail, with occasional steps off-trail. The program route contains a few hills or gradual inclines. The trail surface is uneven and could have tripping hazards such as exposed tree roots or rocks. Recent weather could make the trail muddy or slippery.
Dress for the weather. Bring a flashlight if you have one -- ideally one with a red light to avoid disturbing wildlife.
Your guide will email you the day before your program with recent trail conditions or other information prior to your program.
