On Saturday, April 29 from 10 – 2 Massachusetts Natural Heritage biologist Karro Frost will guide us in learning about the unique life found in vernal pools. Learn how to certify pools with the Vernal Pool Rare Species (VPRS) database. Bring boots, a snack, drinking water, and a sense of adventure. Meet at 9:30 am at Millers River Environmental Center, 100 Main Street in Athol to carpool or 10:00 am at the Conservation area. To find the South Athol Conservation area entrance: travel south on South Athol Road from Athol center and the entrance will be on the right 1.1 miles south of the route 2 overpass, between the intersections of Riceville Road and Conant Road. (GPS – 3800 South Athol Road) A Conservation Area sign at the driveway will point you down the dirt roadway to a small parking area on the right before the gate (private residence).
