In the dark, Leslie, Calvin, Rich and I heard a forceful, ever-present chorus of frogs. Spring Peepers, American Toads and other special Frogs can be heard now in the evening. The videos below capture the sound of frogs and images of bugs observed in the pools.
Potential Vernal Pool study, at night
Last evening, on Tuesday April 5th, three others including myself, traveled into the edge of the woods to study a Mass DEP listed Potential Vernal Pool area.

You are Trespassing on private property.
ReplyDeleteStay off of our land.
Which side of the line, to which the pool is in, is your land?
ReplyDeleteOn the Salem side, the trails have been open to the community since the land became open space.
Anon is trying to use scare tactics, probably doesn't even own any land there, just trying to stop you from your work. I the business interests could be balanced with the human and environmental interests in our country, but I guess money matters more than long term quality of life. Amphibians are on the verge of extinction in the Northeast, yet over the last 20 years we continue to see wetlands paved over as they are the last and/or cheapest development lands available.
ReplyDeleteI think far too many have failed to learn you don't run the city like a business, you run it in the interests of society and the health of the environment if you want any true long term progress. I can make a bet that in the next ten years most of the commercial properties will close up and either be vacant or converted to residential.
One can only hope we stupid animals realize how much harm we are doing to ourselves and the other species we share our home with.
This is wonderful music to my ears!
ReplyDeleteIt is all PRIVATE land!!
ReplyDeleteKEEP OUT
It is really, really sad that an organization that once prided itself on maintaining a wild and open space for children and would welcome people onto their property in order to experience nature is now run by such ignorant people in regard to the environment and ecology. The organization now deems this land as useless and nothing more than money in their pocket. If you own that land, go up there--see it and experience it....listen to what is happening up there right now in full celebration of life. These creatures got through the hard winter and are alive. Amphibians and reptiles have been on this earth a lot longer than us and have to adapt to life in the wild--yet you just want to wipe them out with blasting and bulldozing. That is a crime.
