While gardens sleep, winter is the busiest time for North Carolina’s salamanders. Join Dr. Ron Grunwald, Duke Department of Biology, to look for these “cool” amphibians in Duke Forest, where you might see woodland red-back salamanders in the woods and two-lined and dusky salamanders in the stream. Learn about ongoing salamander studies and the habitats different salamander species rely on for their life cycles. Be prepared for a walk on the forest floor and to dip your toes in a rocky creek.

Location: Duke Forest; driving directions will be included in a program reminder email sent the week before the program. Parking is free and carpooling is encouraged.
