Vernal Pool Workshop
Orange County Land Trust to Hold Vernal Pool Workshop at Laurel Hill Preserve, Minisink
The Orange County Land Trust will hold a family friendly workshop on vernal pools on Saturday, March 27 beginning at 10 am at the Land Trust’s 89-acre nature preserve in the Town of Minisink.
Join Orange County Land Trust to explore the newly formed vernal pools and learn about the species that rely on them for survival such as frogs, fairy shrimp, salamanders and newts! This workshop is a hands-on, outdoor activity for families and people of all ages. It will be led by Orange County Land Trust staff member Meredith Taylor, who is also Assistant Coordinator of the North American Amphibian Monitoring Program for the Hudson Valley. Be prepared to get a little wet, and all are encouraged to wear mud boots!
Laurel Hill Preserve is an 89 acre natural area of unique and varied habitat including woodlands, an alfalfa field, wetlands, vernal pools and Tunkamoes Creek.
