VERNAL POOL TRAINING FOR CONSERVATION & INLAND WETLANDS COMMISSIONERS at RTPC Old Lyme
April 6 @ 9:00 am - 12:30 pm
Vernal pools are an important wetland habitat found throughout Connecticut. Often overlooked and undervalued, they provide essential breeding habitat for numerous amphibian and invertebrate species. This workshop will introduce vernal pools, what they are, how they function, and what species are dependent upon them for survival. With over 60 years of combined experience with local land use commissions, Denise Savageau and Michael Aurelia will review the role Conservation and Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commissions play in protecting this special resource. The workshop will begin indoors and then a short walk to the field. Boots and appropriate field dress attire required. Registration is free. Please pre-register by March 30.
