Maine Big Night
Maine Big Night
with Kennebec Land Trust and Friends of the Cobbossee Watershed
Gott Pasture Preserve, Wayne
March – April, Date and time - weather dependent
Kennebec Land Trust and Friends of the Cobbossee Watershed will be participating in the state-wide community science project Maine Big Night. With help from volunteers, we will be collecting data on migrating frogs and salamanders as they cross roadways during the spring.
How to volunteer?
KLT and Friends of the Cobbossee have adopted two 1000-foot-long roadway sites to monitor near KLT’s Gott Pasture Preserve in Wayne. Anyone who can operate safely on a roadway is invited to join. Volunteers will collect data on amphibians present and help them safely cross the road. Safety vests and headlamps are required to participate. KLT and Friends will have them available, but please bring your own if you have them. Families are encouraged to participate, but kids must be old enough to be aware of road safety. Contact Marie or Cami to sign up and then when the conditions are right between March 15th and May 15th, (wet roads and 40 degrees at night) we’ll contact you that day.
All volunteers are required to sign this waiver: https://forms.gle/W37a8WpZeBsw2i1N8
