Why Vernal Pools Are So Cool!
When we protect vernal pools, we help protect the health of our whole community.
🐸 NURSERIES FOR WILDLIFE Home to salamanders, frogs, and fairy shrimp, who depend on these pools to grow and thrive
🚫 SAFE HAVENS
No fish live here, so eggs and young are protected from many predators
💧 NATURES'S WATER FILTERS
hey help clean water and keep ecosystems healthy
🌊FLOOD HELPERS
They soak up rainwater like sponges, helping reduce flooding
🐦 REST STOPS for migratory birds Traveling birds rely on these pools for food and energy during long journeys
🌳 PART OF A BIGGER WEB. They support birds, forests, and many other living things—including us
A Community Effort
This family friendly event is made possible by these incredible partners working together to protect our wetlands and water ways.
