Salamander Search at Sanborn Park
Join YSI naturalists for a guided fall hike in search of salamanders and newts! This two-hour adventure takes you along the shaded trails of Sanborn Park as we explore the damp forest floor and learn about these amazing amphibians that thrive in our local ecosystem.
November is prime California newt migration season, when females travel between ponds in search of mates. With the cool weather and light rain, it’s one of the best times of year to spot these gentle creatures on the move!
