  • I spy a spotted salamander! This little amphibian lives near the vernal pool on #KingmanIsland, a special place that is full of water in the spring and dries up in late summer. This becomes an important natural cycle for these little critters because fish can’t survive in these conditions and therefore can’t eat the eggs of amphibians that can survive in and out of water. . Kingman and Heritage Islands Conservation Area boasts a variety of critical ecosystems ranging from fresh water tidal wetlands to vernal pools. These also serve as living learning features for @livingclassroom education programs. . Join us on May 2nd to celebrate and support this miraculous wildlife oasis right here in DC!
