Amphibian Amble at Big Swamp
Friday, March 11th
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM EST
Sometimes the movement of amphibian species into vernal pools can occur early in the season—especially west of Cleveland, where winters can be milder. Join us for an exciting nocturnal exploration at one of the Museum's largest and finest West Side preserves, where shrub swamps and vernal wetlands abound. If weather conditions are right, we're likely to see some of our earliest amphibian migrants.
