The forests and wetlands of New Jersey's Great Swamp are bound to be hopping during this early-spring hike from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Great Swamp Watershed Association's Conservation Management Area (CMA) on Friday, March 27.

Click here to register online.

After all, this is the time of year when spring peepers, wood frogs, chorus frogs, and other chatty amphibians make their way to woodland pools to mate and reproduce.

As twilight explodes into song, learn how critically important these shallow puddles (known as vernal pools) and their adorable denizens are for the health of our water resources and the local environment.

Families with children are encouraged. Recommended for ages seven and up.

Space is limited, so advance registration is strongly suggested.
