Adirondack Amphibians: In spring, male American Toads trek off to shallow waters to find a mate, which they attract with their long, purring trill. American Toad (Anaxyrus americanus) at Heart Lake (22 May 2021). https://t.co/XNJCIiY4u7 #Toads #Spring #Adirondacks #NYNature

Stacking rocks damages soil and plants, misleads hikers, and undoes trail work done by summit stewards. Those rocks were previously stabilizing soil and delineating the trail above treeline. #norockstacking @leavenotrace

At its spring 2021 quarterly meeting, which was held (remotely) in April, the AWA board of directors held its first officer elections since incorporating in 2019. As a result, a new face will be filling the role of the board’s chair.

Gotta love spring in the Adirondacks!

The earliest deployment of the Upper Saranac Lake Environmental Monitoring Platform since the first deployment in May 2017. I'm excited to dive into new ways of visualizing & presenting these data to the public, as well as looking at dynamics related to Lake Trout habitat.

Flies are important alpine pollinators!

[In Defense of Plants @indfnsofplnts]

"It is often ignored that flies also play an important role in this regard. Our latest research results show that dipterans fed on pollen as long as approximately 50 million years ago!” 🔍

On rainy April nights Adirondack amphibians emerge and migrate to woodland pools. Road-crossing mortality is high even in slow traffic.

You can help! @NYSDEC’s Amphibian Migration & Road Crossing Project guides volunteers.

Summit Stewardship can happen on any visit to the #AlpineZone. Remember to walk on the durable surfaces (deep snow, ice, and rock) to protect the rare alpine plants. Snowshoes or skis are still needed! 🌸

"AWA’s first order of business in serving on HPAG was to ensure that protection of the Wilderness was a paramount and inviolate principle. That was established early in our meetings and it is clearly stated in the HPAG’s Final Report."

@MelissaCath90 Definitely. Super messed up but so good. I can’t wait for the new season.
