Land Conservancy offers program on spring migration

• Why did the salamander cross the road? Have you ever witnessed large numbers of salamanders and frogs crossing the road on rainy spring nights? Each spring, frogs and salamanders travel long distances from their forest habitats to breed in small wetlands. Unfortunately, migration pathways often cross roads, leading to mortality of slow-moving wildlife. Learn how you can get involved by witnessing these incredible spring migrations, helping amphibians survive their overland travel, and conserving important habitats in your community. Great Family Activity.
An information session will be held on Monday, Feb. 27, at 7 p.m. Hosted by Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy.
