The public is invited to participate in a free, family-friendly, guided Vernal Pool Trek at Lithia Springs. This trek will be led by Brad Timm, wildlife ecologist and founder of the Northeast Wildlife Team. Come explore with us on this leisurely guided hike as we stop at several vernal pools along the trek and look and listen for frogs, toads, and salamanders, and much more! And we’ll learn many fascinating facts about common wildlife all around us, inspired by Brad’s book Wildlife Out Your Window: Fascinating Facts About 100 Animals Commonly Seen in the Northeastern U.S. For example, did you know that some frogs produce their own anti-freeze, lots of salamanders can regenerate their tail and entire limbs, and that Blue Jay and Bluebird feathers aren’t actually blue (they’re brown!). All ages are welcome and encouraged to join. Signed copies of Brad’s book will be available for purchase ($20) at the event.
