SAVING IMPERILED AMPHIBIANS – A COMMUNITY SCIENCE STORY

Sat, Feb 5th 2022, 1:30pm - 2:30pm
Virtual webinar (Zoom)

Details: Freshwater is a precious resource for humans and wildlife in drought-prone California.  This is especially true for those species that depend on freshwater habitats, like salamanders and frogs. Conservation scientists are using environmental DNA to better understand the distribution of our local amphibians, including the highly endangered Santa Cruz long-toed salamander, as well as threatened California tiger salamander and California red-legged frog. Join us for an opportunity to get to know these unusual, beautiful species and their wetland habitats, and what is being done to protect and restore them. An additional, in-person field trip will be hosted at 3:30 pm at the Reserve. 

At this time, space on the field trip is FULL. If you wish to join the waitlist for it, email Community Outreach Coordinator Ariel Hunter at ariel.hunter@wildlife.ca.gov
