Have you seen a salamander, frog, or snake recently? If so, submit a report to the VT Reptile and Amphibian Atlas! Students were excited to see these aquatic Eastern Newts at a clayplain forest earlier this month and contributed the first reported courtship of the season.

During a recent Field Walk we slowed down to get a closer look at the little things. Field Naturalists Hayley Kolding and Dave Moroney engaged walkers on the layers of lichens and habitat preferences of mosses. Stay tuned for info about the upcoming vernal pool walk.

Red Maples make sap too! Are red maples overlooked contributors to the "Maple Belt"? Can they help syrup be more climate resilient? Is the sugar maple bias deserved? Thankfully, there are experts to address the concerns from Field Naturalists and Waffle Lovers!

Our #drone team spent the morning with the #UVM @uvmfnprogram showcasing drone technology. I predict drones will follow the trajectory of GPS and will soon be a tool regularly used in combination with field data collection.
