The forested slopes, mountain streams and rivers, and valleys and floodplains of our southern mountains provide unique habitats for a variety of cold-blooded amphibian life. In this class we’ll focus on many of the various species found here, their specialized habitats and life cycles, and threats to their existence. Class participants will also have a chance to meet in the classroom, a few live amphibian residents of our mountain region.
