Brett Thelen: ‘Big Night’ grassroots efforts to protect migrating amphibians
Brett Amy Thelen helps salamanders survive the most dangerous night of their lives. She coordinates the Salamander Crossing Brigade, a group of community volunteers in New Hampshire and beyond who help spring-migrating amphibians cross roads when they emerge to return to their breeding grounds of vernal pools and wetlands on the first warm, rainy nights of spring. She presented the effort as part of The Northeast Wildlife Team’s wildlife presentation series, an organization founded by Brad Timm. Learn more and watch the recorded webinar here.
