Since you mentioned SALAMANDERS - apparently they're an Alpha ( ? ) fauna in the ecosystem of The Great Smoky Mtns National Park, an area I visited A LOT when I was a mere sapling of a kid. I saw a LOT of the area.

Thanks for the memories ! Cheers !

& Jeremy Bentham - an obscure reference, but I'm familiar with HIM, too.

Thanks for reading! I learned about the Vernal Pool Patrol when I took a course on Conservation Stewardship through MSU Extension. The agricultural extension office or land grant university in your state might offer similar programs.
