Video / Podcast... from The Native Plant Podcast. Information about the frogs and salamanders but also the creatures that feast on them. Native plants food for the insects which feed the frogs which feed bigger predators. You will enjoy this.

I used top have a couple of vernal pools. (Sold the property) They were quite interesting but for a short while but...
That little increment of time is all that's needed for many a species to survive

Thank you for posting. Very interesting.
This year, I plan to create a wetland...and perhaps a vernal pool. Either way, I will have a lot more flora and fauna added to the property. ![]()

Thanks for sharing these resources, Gloria. I have a wet spot that I'll use this information to experiment with.

This video starts out discussing several wetland types so that the difference from vernal pools is apparent. Then vernal pool ecology and wildlife are shown.
