Herp Walk at Allanach-Wolf Woodlands (1 of 2)

Herpetologist Dr. Susan Herrick from the University of Connecticut’s Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology will be leading a nighttime walk to observe the nocturnal spring breeding activity of local frogs and a morning walk to search for the results—frog eggs! The Connecticut State Museum of Natural History is partnering with Joshua’s Tract Conservation and Historic Trust to host these field-learning activities with Dr. Herrick as part of an ongoing research project to observe and track the herps that seek shelter in artificial habitats called coverboards throughout the Allanach-Wolf Woodlands. Dr Herrick will explain the ecology and behavior of the herps that people would commonly encounter in Connecticut in their native habitat.

Space is limited and separate registration is required for each date! Visit  https://s.uconn.edu/herpwalks2025 for more information and to register for one or both of the hikes.
