Vernal Pool "Exploration"

With temperatures falling, and winter weather on the horizon come learn about the puddles that will soon form on the forest floor. These unassuming puddles—better known as vernal pools—provide a unique ecosystem for a variety of amphibians and invertebrates. Learn about the functions of these pools and how you can help us monitor them in our area as part of Wissahickon Trails Citizen Science program.

We are happy to offer our virtual programs at no cost to participants, but if you are able, a $10 suggested donation would be greatly appreciated. Wissahickon Trails is a local, community-supported nonprofit. Our budget depends entirely on the generosity of our supporters—individuals, foundations, and corporations.  Donate online today.
