Description

Amphibians, including salamanders, play an important role in the ecosystem – controlling insect and pest populations – but are being impacted by pollution and disease. Join Mystic Aquarium in their newest citizen science initiative as we conduct field surveys to sample amphibians (salamanders, frogs, and toads!) for chytrid fungus. This is a great opportunity to get up close and muddy in the name of conservation! Registration required; 20 participants maximum. No pets. Event host contact: MaryEllen Mateleska, [email protected] The 7 Rivers Festival recognizes the Wild & Scenic status of the Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed in RI and Eastern CT. These waterways were championed by the local community for federal protection and recognition, joining 1% of rivers nationwide with this distinction. Please join our community partners for a weekend of free events and special offers in celebration of these exceptional rivers! 7 Rivers Fest Contact: [email protected]
