After and all-day class Judith Mackenroth and La Monte Yarroll took our fourteen ALT Naturalists into the woods at Salamander Park. One of the Naturalists knows the park well and gave us a bit of its history as a quarry and later a habitat for Spring Salamanders. Rain fell beforehand to conditions were muddy, but spirits were high. We had a very lively identification session with lots of questions and heavy use of reference books.
