The team’s namesake, but not the only thing we’re helping across the road. Spotted Salamanders are the usual salamander species we find slowly making their way across roadways, using the first rainy nights of spring (from late March into June) to get from their living habitat (thick forests) to their breeding habitat (pretty much any stagnant water where fish don’t exist to eat the eggs). Wood Frogs, Spotted Salamanders, Peepers, and rarer salamanders like Jeffersons and Four-Toeds all share the ponds and puddles and vernal pools as nurseries for their eggs.
