These last two warm days have melted a lot of pool ice… so the frogs and salamanders should be coming out very soon. Keep an eye on your emails for field trip updates.
Saturday April 18, 2015 1-3pm
Agazzis Rock, Manchester-by-the-Sea
We will lead a field trip to a vernal pool and demonstrate how to certify (protect) for The Trustees of Reservations. Could use a couple volunteers.
Gloucester Pride Stide is on Sunday April 26, 2015
We will have a display there (Stage Fort Park). You can find pledge sheets at the Pride Stride website (just google Gloucester Pride Stride). Please walk for Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team.
Big Giant Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team/ Kestrel Educational Adventures Yard Sale Saturday May 30, 2015 9am-1pm. Start setting stuff aside to donate and volunteer to help with the event.
Do you know of any vernal ponds that need to be certified, please get in touch soon. We’ll be doing surveys later this month.
We need board members. At least one director and a treasurer. We are required by law to have a treasurer, so we need to get on this.
We are having a Big Giant CAVPT 25th Anniversary Benefit Concert on Friday September 18, 2015 at Mile Marker One in Gloucester from 8-11pm. With The Fools. Great band. Save the date. We’ll need some help pulling this off, so please volunteer to help out.
Later, Rick
we only have one earth, save it


I’m guessing by the weekend the peepers will start peeping in our pond.

Heard our first frogs on Sunday on a hike in Manchester, with 4-6 inches of snow still on the trail in spots. Lots of woodpeckers putting on a spring show. I’d love to join you Saturday.

I heard them last weekend too, around Niles Pond and Goose Pond!
