What do you need to know about these ticks as an avid outdoors person? How do you protect yourself from this tick which can be active even in the winter? Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about this species, as well as other ticks, from this recognized authority on the subject.

Dr. Meg Riestenberg, Associate Professor, The College of Mount St. Joseph

Vernal Pools
John Howard, Local Adams County naturalist

	Vernal pools are seasonally wet ponds, ditches or fields that are home to salamanders, frogs, fairy shrimp and insects. In early spring (Feb-Mar) they can teem with masses of salamanders and frogs that use them for breeding. The salamander species that use these pools live underground the rest of the year and are rarely encountered. Local naturalist John Howard will have live vernal pool creatures for people to see and will give a talk about these unique wetlands in Adams County.
