Get your hands dirty as we collect samples and observe the fascinating organisms that call these pools home. Weather-appropriate outerwear and watertight boots are highly recommended. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. \nRegistration for both the Vernal Pool Patrol Online Training Series and field sampling day is required. The training series is live and consists of three webinars on March 4\, 11\, and 18 which will be recorded and emailed to registrants.
