Amphibian AlertTonight’s mild temperatures and the prediction of rain means we should see the beginning of the annual amphibian migration. This is the time of year when many species of salamanders and wood frogs make their annual migration from upland wooded areas to vernal pools to mate. This journey may include a road crossing, where teams of volunteers are often seen “crossing” animals to prevent a sure death from being run over. For additional details, contact the Conservation Commission office at conservation@town.pepperell.ma.us or visit: http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/dfg/dfw/natural-heritage/vernal-pools/
