Vernal pools are temporary ponds formed in the spring due to melting snow.  They are critical habitats for a variety of animal and plant species.  Experience the amazing microscopic world that shares your world every day. 

We will also host a planting of native shrubs to help keep the ecosystem healthy.

Due to current health guidelines we are capping this event at 20 participants.  Masks are required, hand sanitizer will be provided, and social distancing protocols will be followed. Rain date is May 2 at the same time and location.
