Lincoln's Woodland Vernal Pools
with Michele Grzenda
Monday, February 28th at 7pm
Virtual Program
Big Night is approaching and you may be asking yourself, why are there ducks
quacking at night in March or April?
Join Michele Grzenda, Lincoln’s Conservation Director as she shares a virtual
presentation on vernal pools. What are they? Why should we protect them? These
seasonal wetlands are home to an array of plants, invertebrates, reptiles,
amphibians, and other wildlife. Michele will begin with an introduction to the
ecology of these pools and discuss the natural history of the organisms
inhabiting them. Michele will also teach us how to identify frogs by their
‘trills’ and ‘croaks’.
This is a free program and all are welcome. Please register to receive the Zoom
Meeting Information.
