Viles Arboretum

Join us as we monitor red-backed salamanders at the Arboretum. You'll have an opportunity to check under cover boards, learn how to identify salamander species, handle them safely, measure them, and record helpful scientific data for the arboretum! By surveying red-backed salamanders, we will be providing a snapshot into the health of the arboretum’s hemlock collection.

This program is great for older teenagers and adults, but younger children are welcome to attend with their adult.
