This beautiful new children’s book, shares the story of a family and community’s care for the amphibians in their neighborhood, especially on Big Night, the first warm, rainy night (or nights) of springs when amphibians migrate en masse from their winter habitats in upland woods to wetlands and vernal pools.
Big Night comes once, sometimes twice, each spring, or can occur as several medium or smaller nights. It's the magical moment when the temperature and humidity are just right, and spotted salamanders, wood frogs, and other amphibians migrate from wherever they wintered to nearby vernal pools and wetlands where they will breed.
We had an amazing, first-ever CLC & Green Mountain Conservation Group (GMCG) Big Night Salamander Brigade with a total of 156 amphibians crossing Washington Hill Road while we were out.
