As winter fades, these seldom-seen creatures emerge from hibernation to return to their vernal pools. On rainy nights in late winter, as we snuggle up on the couch, these tiny amphibians crawl through the melting snow pack and venture into wet roadways to continue the cycle of life. Meet some of these impressive adventurers and learn how you can volunteer as a citizen scientist with the Department of Environmental Conservation to help salamanders cross the roads. This program is recommended for adults and families with children ages 5 and older.
