Salamander Crossing Brigade volunteer training
As the earth thaws and spring rains drench New Hampshire, thousands of salamanders, frogs, and toads make their way to vernal pools to breed. Many are killed when their journeys take them across busy roads. Every year, the Harris Center for Conservation Education trains citizen scientists to serve on Salamander Crossing Brigades at amphibian road crossings throughout the Monadnock Region. These heroic volunteers move migrating amphibians across roads by hand during one or more "Big Nights" each spring, keeping count as they go. To join the ranks -- or simply to learn more about the remarkable spring amphibian migration -- attend this volunteer training in the Putnam Science Center at Keene State College (Room 101). For more information, contact Brett Amy Thelen at thelen@harriscenter.org or (603) 358-2065. Co-sponsored by the Harris Center for Conservation Education and Keene State College.
To request accommodations for a disability, please contact the coordinator at least two weeks prior to the event.
