Join Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies for a lecture on amphibian migrations, featuring\u00a0Laura Heady<\/a>, a biologist with the New York State Department of Conservation\u2019s Hudson River Estuary Program and Cornell University.<\/p>\n

Beneath the towering trees of the Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountains, under the leaves, rotting logs, lives a fantastic group of amphibians. Nocturnal in their behavior and hunkered down in underground retreats, forest salamanders often go undetected \u2013 until they move on rainy nights in large numbers for their annual breeding migrations to vernal pools. Along with wood frogs, these amphibians encounter many roads that bisect their habitat, and in some places, they also encounter volunteers who lend a hand to provide safe passage.<\/p>\n

Discover the fascinating world of forest amphibians, their life histories and role in forest ecosystems, and opportunities to get involved in conservation of vernal pool-breeding amphibians.<\/p>\n

Heady has a BS in Environmental Science from Rutgers University and an MS in Biology from Idaho State University. She has worked on biodiversity conservation in the Hudson River estuary watershed for nearly 25 years and started the Amphibian Migrations & Road Crossings Project in 2009.<\/p>\n

The event is free and open to all, but registration is required. Sign up to attend in person at the Lovejoy Auditorium in Millbrook, NY, or watch a live stream online. Offered in partnership with the Catskill Science Collaborative<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cary\u2019s public lectures are made possible, in part, by support from\u00a0Harney & Sons Fine Teas<\/a>.<\/p>\n
