Roads, Rain, and a Couple Thousand Amphibians; Call it a Big Night!

Big nights are fascinating and unique natural events that occur every spring. With spring rain and warming temperatures, frogs and salamanders move to their breeding grounds by the truckload. However, these miniature migrations often put them in harm’s way on roads. How we can assist and protect these ancient populations will be the subject of this presentation. Join us to hear how you can get involved in this important work. Volunteer kits will be available on-site at Fields Pond and Gilsland Farm for check out. Greg LeClair is the creator and Director of the “Maine Big Night” community science project where he coordinates the collection of statewide data on Maine’s amphibian migrations.
