Posted on May 11, 2016

Although the words slithering and slimy aren’t typically associated with good things, the opposite is true when you’re talking about celebrating all things salamander!

Visitors enjoyed viewing a variety of live salamanders on exhibit by Chris Duckett of Amtilia Outreach, taking a walk in the woods with RTPI Conservation Technician Elyse Henshaw to search for live salamanders and their eggs in their natural habitats, and creating salamander crafts with RTPI Communications Coordinator Melanie Smith.
