Big Night at Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary for the Spring Amphibian Migration

If you’ve never watched salamanders and frogs on the move, Arcadia’s “Big Night” is the most exciting kind of after-school science. Families head out with guides to look for amphibians that migrate to vernal pools on warm, rainy spring evenings.

You’ll learn how to spot safe crossing routes, identify local species, and understand why these temporary ponds are vital. Dress for mud, pack a headlamp, and keep an ear out for early spring peepers.
