Walk Leader: Andy Sabin, President, South Fork Natural History Museum Board of Directors
On this walk to one of our vernal ponds, we’ll be searching for the Spotted and Tiger Salamanders, two of our four native mole salamanders. The spotted salamander is a beauty, with its shiny black body and bright yellow spots. Both these salamanders are known as mole salamanders because they spend most of their time underground. Please bring a flashlight and wear boots, as late winter rains will make the ground soggy. This walk will take place only if there have been heavy rains.
There is a $10 fee for Adults and $7 fee for children for this program. Members are free.
Please note that, as mandated by the latest State Executive Order regarding COVID-19 safety precautions, our outdoor nature walks and programs will at all times follow stringent six-feet distancing separation protocols required by the Department of Health for the safety of our participants and environmental educators. We will provide masks and gloves for all attendees.
