Description

Walk Leader: Andy Sabin, President of the Board of Directors, South Fork Natural History Museum (SoFo)

Many salamanders breed in water, and here’s your chance to see the larval aquatic stage of the endangered Eastern Tiger Salamander before it comes on land to live. You’ll also see some of our local frog tadpoles as Andy Sabin, “Mr. Salamander,” wades into a freshwater pond and, using a seining net (a large two-person fishing net with weights at the lower edge and floats at the top), brings to the surface the pond-stages of these young animals, members of the Class Amphibia.

Advance reservations are required for all events. For more information, reservations, and directions to meeting places, please call: (631) 537-9735.
