Vernal Pool Life in the Dead of Winter
Presented by Ray Stewart, Ohio Wetlands Association 
A presentation of vernal pool ecology and macroinvertebrate diversity to explore the nature of this vibrant ecosystem that contrasts with the deep dormancy in the surrounding forest. If conditions allow and access is permitted, we can venture out to a vernal pool and see what activity there is, even beneath the ice. Alternatively, samples could be brought indoors to an aquarium.

​An Introduction to Ohio’s Vernal Pools
Saturday, December 1, 2018
10:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m.
Akron-Summit County Public Library
Science Cafe
​
60 South High Street
Akron, Ohio 44326
Presented by Ray Stewart, MA, Ohio Wetlands Association 
Vernal Pools are seasonal wetlands that normally appear in wooded areas and fill with a variety of life forms in late winter through spring. Many organisms only live in or are dependent on vernal pools to complete their life cycle. Vernal pools are rich in hidden wonders waiting to be discovered.

Science Café welcomes people who might not normally get involved in scientific discussions. This open event is not an ordinary lecture, it’s a casual and interactive conversation with a scientist on a particular topic.

​Please contact Science & Technology for a list of readings suggested, but not required, by our presenter.

Akron Science Café – Science fun and fellowship for adults, but kids like it, too.
