Vernal Pool Mapping in Maine

At the University of Maine Professor Aram Calhoun has been working with several towns in the state to map out the vernal pools in their communities.

Vernal pools are a part of forest wetlands and where many forest amphibians breed during the springtime. Fairy shrimp, woods frogs and salamanders call the vernal pools home.
