Slimy and scaly search at Lacawac Sanctuary

Posted

LAKE ARIEL, PA — As spring’s rain falls, the season’s vernal pools and other wetlands are the perfect place to find amphibians and reptiles. On Saturday, May 7 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lacawac Sanctuary, the public is invited to catch, photo document and release these species as part of the Pennsylvania Amphibian and Reptile Survey (PARS). Led by the PA Fish and Boat Commission’s Larry Laubach, its Northeast Regional PARS Coordinator, citizen scientists get to participate in real-time scientific research.

This exploration is best suited for ages eight to adults. Bring your own lunch. Donations to Lacawac are appreciated but not required to participate. Preregistration is appreciated at 570/689-9494 or info@lacawac.org.

Lacawac Sanctuary and Field Station is a nature preserve, biological research station and environmental education center located in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains. Its 545-acre watershed includes the near pristine glacial Lake Lacawac (a National Nature Landmark), bogs, forests with hiking trails and a Great Camp listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
