Every spring in Maine, hundreds of thousands of amphibians awaken to leave their underground homes in the pouring rain to journey to vernal pools, an event known as Big Night.

From March 20-22, celebrate this upcoming natural phenomenon with special programming exploring amphibious life!

Read on to learn about all the exciting experiences headed your way!
