Brought to you by the Michigan Vernal Pools Partnership

We are excited to introduce our guest speakers for the 2023 Annual Meeting!

Each year, we bring in experts to cover the latest work and updates in vernal pool related conservation, research, and education. 

On December 6th, join us to learn about...

• Vernal pool protection through policy tools, habitat assessment, and best management techniques
• Progress in vernal pool mapping methodologies
• The habitat needs of unisexual and blue-spotted salamanders
• Incorporating vernal pools into the classroom
• and exciting community science projects to help conserve vernal pool species!

The mission of the Michigan Vernal Pools Partnership is to increase awareness, understanding and protection of vernal pools through conservation, research & mapping, education & outreach and collaboration.                                     

The Vernal Pool Patrol is a place-based education program consisting of classroom instruction and data collection in the field. Members learn how to follow a standard protocol to help identify and map locations of vernal pools within their local communities.
