Did you know that Wood Frogs freeze solid all winter long? Or that Eastern Red-backed Salamanders are the most common vertebrate in the whole forest?

Each spring, amphibians migrate by the millions from upland forests to wetland breeding grounds, often crossing roadways at their peril. Join Mad River Libraries, North Branch Nature Center, and Friends of the Mad River for this virtual opportunity to learn more about these fascinating animals and how we can help them on their journey.

NBNC's Amphibian Road Crossing program trains volunteers to survey migration sites to help amphibians across the road while collecting valuable data that informs local conservation and transportation planning efforts. Over the last five years, ARC volunteers conducted 900 surveys and documented 17,000 amphibians at 193 crossing sites across Vermont. This community science project accommodates volunteers of all ages and backgrounds — the only requirement is an eagerness to enjoy and protect our local amphibians!
