Heading out to a vernal pool
to see yellow-spotted salamander is definitely something
to put on your to-do list! In fact, watching any
animal in its natural environment can be a lot of fun.
Just remember, not to bring the animals back to your
house.
To learn more about vernal
pools visit the Vernal Pool
Association. Leo P. Kenney of The
Vernal Pool Association provided many of the copyrighted
photographs for these pages. We extend our gratitude to
Leo and the Vernal Pool Association. These photographs

It is very important to not take animals away from their
homes. These animals are dependant upon seasonal
changes, their parents, peers, other animals, and plants
in their natural environment to be able to survive.
Leaving animals in their home allows them to be healthy
and reproduce. It also gives you and others the
opportunity to visit them again.
