Celebrate Salamander Saturday at AIC in Newcomb
Don’t miss your chance to learn more about the Salamander and other amphibians at SUNY ESF’s Adirondack Interpretive Center in Newcomb, NY.
Participants will also visit a vernal pool to look for salamander and frog eggs and delve into the leaf litter to search for the nine species of Salamander that live in the ADK.
Did you know Salamander Saturday is a national event? The Foundation for the Conservation of Salamanders initiated this national holiday eight years ago to raise awareness about salamanders, their habitats, and their role in the ecosystem. The FCSal’ Mission is to:
To disseminate information about the threats to salamanders and their habitats
To increase awareness about salamander diversity, biology, and conservation
To raise money for salamander conservation, education, and research
To fund salamander conservation, education and research initiatives through an annual grant
As their motto says, “Keep the World Slimy.”
