O’Hara Catholic School 2nd graders discovered many wonders in the West Eugene Wetlands’ vernal pools, this week, including this salamander eft as well as Pacific Chorus frog tadpoles, Mayfly nymphs, and Caddisfly larvae. Many of the creatures that make their homes in the vernal pools can only live in the highest quality water. This kind of diversity is an excellent sign! There is still time to experience the vernal pools before they dry-up. Schedule a visit, today!
