Forest Walk: All About Vernal Pools

Join the White River Land Collaborative’s Forest Management Team for a walk to a Vernal Pool where we will look at amphibian eggs (including salamanders!) and seek out the other special inhabitants that live in these important but often unseen ecological communities.

Additional details:

– Please note that this is a moderate walk uphill that goes through some thorny brambles, so dress accordingly and bring any food and water you may need.
– Registration is required and the event is capped at 20 participants. Please let us know if you aren’t able to attend so we can open up your spot.
– Please arrive closer to 9:30 AM. The walk will begin at 10 AM and end at noon.
– Children are welcome, but event content will be geared toward adults.
– Make note restrooms will not be available.
– We ask that you leave your pets at home as we are on a working farm.

About the Forest Management Project

The Abenaki-led Forest Management Project combines Indigenous Knowledge with current management and conservation practices to create a balanced form of land stewardship that promotes the inclusion of principles which are culturally and ecologically important. The Abenaki understanding of land and all of its inhabitants helps foster a reciprocal relationship with the environment. This can heal past degradation and create future stability for communities.
