Maine Big Night: From Salamander to Statewide Project
Friends of the Cobbossee Watershed Office, East Winthrop
(Also available on Zoom) 
Monday, April 1st, 6:00 PM 

Every year when the ground has thawed, and temperature and weather conditions are right amphibians embark on a mass migration from their winter habitat to their breeding grounds in vernal pools and other wetlands during a “big night”. In 2018 Greg Leclair started the Maine Big Night citizen science project in one town to collect data on how roadways are affecting amphibians during their migration. It has now turned into a state-wide citizen science project and a new nonprofit. 

Join Greg LeClair on April 1 to learn more about the project, how it developed, and opportunities for getting involved!
