At the Crossroads
Environmental and Farming Issues
with Carol Groom
Jim Andrews on Herpetology
Jim discusses Vermont’s frogs, toads, salamanders, turtles, snakes and one lone lizard, recalls encounters with the critters and explains the real need for residents to report sightings of these often declining species to The Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas. He also explains plans for taking a crew of high school students scouting for reptiles and amphibians in July 2006. All that’s needed is an invitation from willing landowners in the Mad River Valley and other Vermont locales.
