Vernal Pools

Our Watershed is not just the West Fork River and the creeks that run into it. It is all the land and water in our West Fork Valley, and everything and everyone that is supported or affected by it.

Save Our Streams has a yearly program for volunteers to check out the seasonal pools that form every spring, some as small as tractor ruts, where frogs, toads and salamanders breed. The information they collect helps map vernal pools and they life they support to help know how to protect life in our valley. This year they will have a virtual workshop for volunteers on Thursday, February 19 from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM. There will also be in-person workshops later in the winter.
