Join us for a fun and educational Amphibian Crossing Night in Stowe in April! This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in learning about, seeing, or helping amphibians in our community.

Every spring, amphibians like salamanders and frogs migrate to vernal breeding pools - sometimes crossing our roads. Peak movement is typically on warm, wet nights from late March - May. Participants can help move amphibians to safety and collect data, which could then be used for further research and conservation of amphibians.

What to Expect:

  • Date is TBD and weather dependent - sign up below to receive information as soon as it’s available! We will send out event details two days in advance to those who signed up!
  • Participants will walk along a road as a group, helping to move amphibians safely across the road while collecting scientific data! 
  • Expect to be outside for about an hour and a half.
  • All participants should bring headlamps or flashlights (one per participant). Bring a reflective vest if you own one. SLT will have a limited number of reflective vests for volunteer use.
  • Dress for the weather— amphibians typically move on warm, wet nights. Wear raincoats, rain boots, and layers!
  • This event is open to all ages but children must be supervised by their parents or guardian for safety reasons.
  • We encourage participants to bring a water bottle and snack!
