NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Anticipates Early Salamander and Frog Migration

Hudson Valley Volunteers to Assist Amphibians with Road Crossings During Annual Breeding Migrations

Community volunteers throughout the Hudson Valley are getting out their raingear and clipboards in anticipation of annual breeding migrations of salamanders and frogs, which may occur as soon Saturday, February 25, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced today. The volunteers will be documenting their observations as part of DEC's Amphibian Migrations and Road Crossings Project. With this week's unseasonably warm temperatures and the rainy weekend forecast, the 2017 migration may have an unusually early start.
