Hello Everyone!
The amphibian observations are pouring in from the listserv, it's an exciting time. For those of you who are not aware, the Linking Landscapes for Massachusetts Wildlife program (LLMW) has an online observation form where the public can report amphibian migrations across roadways: http://linkinglandscapes.info/roads/salamander_map.html.
LLMW is an interagency initiative between MassDOT, the NHESP, and UMass Amherst to minimize the impact of the Massachusetts transportation network on wildlife, through collaboration with the public and environmental organizations, including the Vernal Pool Association.
The Amphibian Roadway Crossing Database is a tool to centralize amphibian roadway crossing information, to assist long-term conservation planning efforts.
Cheers!
