Please join us for a hike around The Blue Hills to learn about Vernal Pools
A hike to vernal pools offers a glimpse into one of nature’s most important ecosystems. These temporary wetlands, typically found in wooded areas, fill with water in the spring and provide a vital habitat for amphibians like frogs and salamanders. They also support a variety of plants and insects. Vernal pools are crucial for biodiversity, as they provide breeding grounds for many species and help maintain healthy ecosystems by filtering water and supporting wildlife. Visiting these pools highlights the delicate balance of nature and the role they play in sustaining life.
