Amphibians in Lyme
Amphibians in Lyme – A Presentation on Frogs, Toads and Salamanders, Oh My!
Lyme Public Hall • 249 Hamburg Rd, Lyme, CT 06371
Thursday, April 4, 2024 • 7 pm
Do you know how many species of frogs, toads, and salamanders call Lyme their home? Why do frogs sing in the Spring? Jim Arrigoni will get you acquainted with charismatic species like Red-spotted Newts, Gray Tree Frogs, Marbled Salamanders, and Wood Frogs. He will also demonstrate how you can contribute to science by sharing your amphibian observations on iNaturalist by joining the Wild Lyme Project.
