Amphibian and Reptile Road Ecology: Threats and Conservation Solutions
Nature is abundant in the Kawarthas, but so is the demise of many critters on our roads. Especially in the spring, from early April, amphibians like frogs and salamanders are run over as they attempt to cross roads to get to wetlands where they lay eggs; turtles that lay eggs on the sunny edge of roads, and snakes that warm themselves directly on asphalt are also prime targets. Local residents and visitors alike will find this upcoming speaker's information very valuable. The Kawartha Field Naturalists invite all to a webinar presentation on March 7, 2022 at 7: 30 pm. To join, email contactus@kawarthafieldnaturalists.org for the link.
