Exploring Vernal Pools

Presented by Oak Mountain State Park at Oak Mountain State Park, Pelham AL

Feb 22 2020

Explore a winter wetland right here in Oak Mountain State Park on this in-park field trip! Join OMSP Park Naturalist and see up close the life cycle of our salmanders and frogs!

Vernal Pools or Ephemeral Pools are bodies of water, usually void of fish, that form over the winter months and are the support system for the beginning of our amphibian friend’s lives! See egg masses up close and help welcome new salamanders into this big world!

Meet at the Oak Mountain Interpretive Center at 1pm. After a quick introduction we will caravan a short distance to the Vernal Pool. Wear weather appropriate clothes!
