On this walk to one of SoFo's vernal ponds, search for the Spotted Salamander, one of four native mole salamanders. This salamander is a beauty, with its shiny black body and bright yellow spots.

It, like the Eastern Tiger Salamander and the Blue-spotted Salamander, as well as the early-autumn breeding Marbled Salamander, is called a mole salamander because it spends most of its time underground. Please bring a flashlight and wear boots, as late winter rains will make the ground soggy. Note: This walk will take place only if there have been heavy rains. March 4, 11 and 18.
