Explore multiple vegetation communities to observe a wide variety of amphibians that include frogs, toads and salamanders. We will observe their natural breeding and upland habitats as we walk through nature preserves within a maximum of 35-minute driving distance from the COM Indian Valley Campus. This is the optimal time of year to learn about these amazing animals, rain or shine!
Participants must be able to hike up to 2.5 miles with a maximum 800-foot elevation gain on uneven surfaces. No natural history experience required. The field trip itinerary and syllabus will be emailed to enrolled students before the first class day.
