• Nature in a Blink: Salamander Migration

  Feb 01, 2025 - Mar 31, 2025 7:30pm - 9:30pm

  Experience Nature in a Blink, a year-long series in which MetroParks offers opportunities throughout the year to appreciate fleeting natural occurrences. The moment the ground begins to thaw, the salamanders of Indian Creek are ready to go! Join us during this one night, special evening program to observe migration from forest to vernal pools where the salamanders can safely lay their eggs. Space is limited, so pre-registration is required. Once the migration has been confirmed, pre-registered participants will be notified the night before or morning of the program and have until 2:00pm that day to confirm registration. All spaces not claimed by 2:00pm will be offered to those on the waiting list.
