Come join this exciting hike! Some of nature's tiniest vertebrates make the loudest sounds in the spring. Join our wader-clad naturalists on an evening exploration of the Nature Center's vernal pools. These shallow bodies of water form from melting snow and spring rain and are the most important breeding grounds for many of our native amphibians. Learn to identify these animals by sound and if we are lucky, by sight as well! For the more daring among us, some edible insects and Bug Juice (aka, Kool-Aid) will be available for tasting! Children should be comfortable being out in the dark in the woods.  Register by April 1. Ages: Families welcome! Young children must be comfortable in the dark.. Members: $5 / Non-Members: $8... Weather Permitting.
