Tiny but mighty, salamanders and newts are on the move! With the March Equinox marking the official arrival of spring, warmer days and thawing ground are setting the stage for these sensitive amphibians to begin their seasonal migration. You might spot them crossing trails or roads, especially on mild, rainy nights. If you’re out exploring, keep an eye on the ground and watch your step. These small creatures play a big role in keeping our ecosystems healthy.
