Join us for a full day of vernal pool exploration and discovery. Identify the amphibians by their egg masses and tadpoles. Learn the ecology of a vernal pool and discover a variety of interdisciplinary activites which tie vernal pool studies to the various State Frameworks. The Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs is providing these free workshops to encourage the study of biodiversity in Massachusetts. Attendees will receive a comprehensive resource kit for classroom use.
Participation is limited to teachers in public and private schools in Massachusetts.
