Newton Conservators will be hosting a webinar, “Vernal Pools and Their Special Ecology,” at 7PM on Thursday, March 5. To attend, sign up for the webinar.
Seasonal ponds, known as vernal pools, are full of life and can be found throughout our region. Newton has several, including Bare Pond in Webster Woods.
Join Newton Conservators’ Barbara Bates for a fascinating presentation on how these pools form, their unique ecology and the life stories of the invertebrates and amphibians who inhabit these pools. See fairy shrimp, salamanders, wood frogs and many more.
Barbara is a teacher, naturalist, and Newton Conservators’ board member who makes nature come to life for her audience.
