Vernal Pool Patrol Field Day - Registration Required

Join us for a day in the field collecting information for the community science project Vernal Pool Patrol. This field day will provide hands-on practice identifying traits of vernal pools and the organisms that use them. By the end of the day, participants will have a deeper understanding of how to collect and submit data for the project. Please dress for the weather. Waterproof shoes are ideal.
