Dear forest friends!

We are in the process of certifying the rest of the vernal pools in the Burlington Landlocked Forest.This involves walking in the potential areas to look for the possible vernal pools, and listening for the sounds of the woodfrogs mating call. This can be heard sometime in March or April, and we're expecting them to come out later this week as the weather warms up. If you sight any potential vernal pools in your walks through the forest, and hear the woodfrog mating call, please email us at info@landlockedforest.com.

The woodfrog mating call is available at this link: http://macaulaylibrary.org/audio.do?id=130487
and on our website.

A map with potential and already certified vernal pools is also posted at our website, http://www.landlockedforest.com/vernalpools.shtml

The vernal pools that have already been identified are coded blue on the attached map and potential vernal pools are coded green.

So keep your eyes and ears open, and thanks for your help!

Friends of the Landlocked Forest
