MAHOOSUC Land Trust

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.

Winter in the Mahoosuc Region isn’t idle—discover how wildlife and plants survive, adapt, and even flourish despite the cold and snow.
