Description

Catch the activity in these small wetlands before they dry up! We are delighted to begin our Spring Trail Walks with a return visit by Nancy Karraker, Associate Professor at URI’s Dept. of Natural Resources Science. She’ll lead us on a tour of Canonchet’s vernal pools—host to spring-breeding for amphibians, reptiles, and aquatic insects. Canonchet Farm has a large number of these “puddles” that play a crucial role for amphibians, such as wood frogs and spring peepers. Meet us in the parking lot at the South County Museum. You don't need to print a ticket. Just register and come! (In case of bad weather, we'll notify you by 10:00 on the 2nd, and we'll re-schedule the event).
