February 6 at 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Join us to learn from Cornell graduate student and herpetologist Stephen Bredin about his research and the role volunteers have played in studying the salamanders of Sapsucker Woods Road and beyond. Stephen will share preliminary results from his research on the harrowing journey young salamanders take as they cross local roads including Sapsucker Woods Road. While adult salamander migrations in the spring are well studied and volunteers across the country help support their movement across roadways, young salamander crossings in the fall are less studied and because of this volunteer groups almost never assist salamander crossings in the fall. If you’ve wondered what those fences by the side of the road on Sapsucker Woods Road are for, this is a chance to find out!
If you have helped with this work in the past and would like to see some results, are interested in amphibians, or curious about participating in conservation research in the spring, please join us!
