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.
