Meet Maine’s secret spring wetlands and their wildlife
Learn why vernal pools matter at a family-friendly talk at Hidden Valley Nature Center, then get ready to spot salamander egg masses in spring.
Event details
Vernal pools are Maine’s short-lived spring wetlands, and they are a big deal for frogs, salamanders, and forest health. At Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson, a naturalist-led presentation breaks down what to look for, why these pools appear and disappear, and how families can explore responsibly.
Pair the talk with a quick walk on nearby trails afterward, especially if the kids are eager to hunt for peepers and early-season tracks in damp leaf litter.
