SUMMARY:Henry Street Spotted Salamander Egg Mass Count
DESCRIPTION:with Patrick O’Roark\, Hitchcock Center Educator and Volunteers\nFree – Registration required for program details\n\nThe ‘famous’ Henry Street spotted salamanders will have laid their egg masses in the swamp by early April. And we want to get out there and see how many there are! This is a good way to census a population that is otherwise tough to count even under the best conditions. We’ll be up to our hips in cold muddy water\, looking for and counting the tennis ball-sized clear\, jelly balls of eggs! Sound like fun? Come on out! Training provided.

SUMMARY:Nature All Year Study Club
DESCRIPTION:Sundays once per month\, 9:00 am – 12:00 noon (some class times may vary depending on topics)\nMembers $275/Non-members $325 for the full course\nDrop-in cost is $27. For the Plum Island field trip\, the drop-in cost is $45.\nRegister here\nJoin us for our fourth year of offering an in-depth natural history course for naturalists and citizen scientists. Each month\, in our series of nature explorations with different local naturalists\, we explore a focused\, seasonal\, natural history topic. We’ll look at nature in new ways\, from broad habitat perspectives to close details of individual species. Over the course of the year we’ll visit a variety of natural habitats in the greater Pioneer Valley area. Identification skills\, ecological connections\, adaptations\, and life cycles of organisms will be the focus of our observations. \nCourse dates and leaders are available here. Bring your curiosity and observation skills and be prepared to spend time outdoors. Dress for the weather as we rarely cancel due to inclement weather. Bring binoculars and a hand lens\, water and snacks if you would like. Carpooling to more distant locations will be encouraged.
