In the fall, winter, and spring there might be a vernal pool near this spot. Also known as ephemeral pools, autumnal pools, and temporary woodland ponds, vernal pools fill with ground and rainwater in the autumn and winter and are usually dry by the middle of the summer. These pools are vital parts of the New England woodland ecosystem. Many amphibians like Spring Peepers, Wood Frogs, and Spotted Salamanders, breed and lay their eggs in these pools. This vernal pool is a great place to stop for anyone interested in ecology.
