Big Night

Each spring on the first warm, rainy night of the season, amphibians emerge from their underground over-wintering locations to travel to vernal breeding pools where they mate and lay eggs. Thousands of salamanders and frogs move across the landscape at this time. In New Hampshire, pioneered by the Harris Center for Conservation Education, volunteers provide safe crossings for thousands of amphibians throughout the state. We hope you consider joining TMCC in this Community Science activity by counting and moving amphibians safely across the roads during the Big Night!
