Beneath winter’s quiet snow lies a hidden world preparing for spring. As vernal pools reawaken, wood frogs and salamanders emerge from months of brumation to begin one of nature’s most remarkable seasonal migrations. These temporary, fish-free waters are vital to the health and balance of forest ecosystems.

A new Maine Big Night Survey Site on Hunts Corner Road in Albany Township protects migrating salamanders and frogs through local citizen science.
