Ohio Environmental Council and Ohio Vernal Pool Partnership Offering Vernal Pool Workshops Vernal pools, or ephemeral wetlands, are small wetlands that are not wet all year. They usually fill over winter and evaporate by late spring or summer, providing important spawning habitat for amphibians and certain groups of macroinvertebrates. These all-day workshops are scheduled for March 6 in Reynoldsburg and April 17 in Richfield. Participants in the workshops will: · learn the threats to protecting these important seasonal wetlands, · how and why to collect vernal pool data, · enjoy a field trip to a vernal pool, accompanied by several experts, and · learn how to spot salamanders and identify different frog calls. Visit the OEC web site for more information and to register.
