Life in a Vernal Pool: Hyattstown Mill - Little Bennett Regional Park
Vernal pools are springtime occurrences. Although short-lived, they
offer critical breeding grounds for our local amphibians. We’ll trek to a local
vernal pool and look for tadpoles, frogs and salamanders and talk about the
ecology of these fleeting waters. Today we’ll explore some pools in Little
Bennett Regional Park. Meet at the Hyattstown Mill parking area at Hyattstown
Mill Road and Rt. 355/Frederick Road, across from the fire station. Children
must be accompanied by an adult. Please register and pay for all attendees. Black
