Mondays with Martha #96 - Vernal Pools

This week I take you to a lovely vernal pool in the Little Forks Conservancy's Riverview Natural Area and discuss what vernal pools are and why these little wetlands are so important to our forested landscape ecosystems. Learn how you can help protect these dynamic oases and put your explorations efforts to good use as a citizen scientist in the Michigan Vernal Pool Patrol! Here are the links I mention:
