The Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas-
Your intrepid Town Clerk recorded the state's first sighting of a red-bellied snake on Easter weekend, and the first ever documented in Landgrove. The Atlas is a conservation tool to gather data on species, and reporting turtles, snakes and salamanders is fun. Below is the chart of species missing documentation for Landgrove- except for that red-bellied snake!- While you are enjoying our forests and wetlands, gardening, or taking a rainy evening's drive around town (careful of marching salamanders!) see if you can fill in the missing pieces by submitting a sighting, or updating a species for our town!
