Thank you to everyone who helped make Salamander Day a success in our corner of the world. We had over 26 visitors that came through and learned about salamanders! The boys worked for weeks gathering information, designing and printing shirts, making games and posters. They really enjoyed spending some time on Friday with our 'special guest' (the spotted salamander) that they nick-named Rodrigo. A special thanks goes out to Rachael at Long Branch Nature Center for loaning us 'Rodrigo' for the event.
We highlighted the salamanders of Woodglen Lake, but there are so many more of these amazing amphibians throughout Virginia. If you are local and craving more salamanders visit the new exhibit Jewels of Appalachia at the National Zoo. To learn more about salamander conservation visit: http://www.fcsal.org/
