Vermont’s amphibians are amped up for their Big Night
from Vermont Edition · host Vermont Public
As the soil thaws, rain falls, and warmer spring days fill up the forecast, the little critters that live in our region are on the move. It is the amphibian migration season and frogs and salamanders have places to be. We talk with herpetologist Jim Andrews of Salisbury who tells us about so-called Big Nights, when humans help salamanders, frogs, and toads cross roads without getting flattened by tires. And he suggests ways to support these species during their migration season, and how to report your own sightings of these travelling amphibians.Broadcast live on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.Have questions, comments or tips?
