Salamander Crossing Brigades volunteer training Putnam Science
Center - 127 As the earth thaws and spring rains drench New
Hampshire, thousands of salamanders, frogs, and toads make their
way to vernal pools to breed. Many are killed when their
journeys take them across busy roads. Each spring, Ashuelot
Valley Environmental Observatory trains volunteers to serve on
Salamander Crossing Brigades at amphibian road crossings
throughout the Monadnock Region. These heroic volunteers count
migrating amphibians and safely usher the animals across roads
during one or more “Big Nights.” To join the ranks of the
Salamander Crossing Brigades, attend either this volunteer
training at KSC or the Saturday morning training at the Harris
Center for Conservation Education on March 23. (No need to
attend both.) Co-sponsored by the Harris Center for Conservation
Education and the Keene State College School of Sciences. For
