You’ve probably been within inches of red-backed salamanders many times and just not seen them. Come learn about their life histories and their role in the ecology of our forests. They’re common and very important, even though they’re only 4 inches long! We’ll also visit our red-backed salamander monitoring plots and learn about the study we are participating in. The study is a region-wide monitoring project to gauge the animals’ population status across their range, from the maritimes, to Minnesota to Georgia, and establish a baseline from which to gauge their responses to coming climate changes.
