The mysterious vanishing ponds of Haliburton! Peer into the hidden world of vanishing ponds known as vernal pools. These small, isolated wetlands are hidden in space and time – tucked into the forest floor, under a canopy of trees, they appear each spring as they fill with melted snow and rain but disappear again in the dry summer months. These ephemeral ecosystems are more than meets the eye, however, as they teem with life in both wet and dry seasons, and are unlike any permanent wet or dry community you have ever seen before. Come explore vernal pools hands-on, discovering their role in ecosystem processes such as leaf litter decomposition and nutrient cycling, along with their importance to the larger forested landscape. Learn how you can find vernal pools in your own backyard, and what you can do to help protect these mysterious vanishing pools. Space is limited to 30 people so call or email us to register. The cost is Adults: $15.00 Children: $8.00 and $30.00 for families of four. www.ontariostewardship.org/haliburton Phone: (705) 286-5206 July 16 (Thursday)
