Join us for an exciting and educational Salamander Survey at Lincoln Brick Park! This hands-on event is perfect for late elementary and early middle school students who are curious about nature and wildlife. Participants will learn about local salamander species, their habitats, and the vital role they play in our ecosystem. With the help of expert guides and local naturalists, we'll explore the area to search for salamanders and other amphibians, while gaining a deeper understanding of their behaviors, needs, and conservation efforts. This is a great opportunity to get outdoors, explore, and have fun while learning more about the fascinating world of amphibians!
