Critter Count Adventure
You’re invited to make Satur-
day, April 13, a day of discovery
as Vancouver’s Water Resources
Education Center celebrates its
19th annual Critter Count.
The day will begin at 9 a.m.
at the Water Center, 4600 S.E.
Columbia Way, with a search for
amphibians and reptiles in the
morning to help wildlife officials
monitor the health of local natural
areas. A wildlife expert and a site
coordinator will be on hand at each
location to help. Frogs and other
amphibians are extremely sensi-
tive to water quality and changing
environmental conditions. Keep-
ing track of the numbers provides
a better understanding of the chal-
lenges they are facing.
Participants
should
come
equipped with boots, warm
clothes, a lunch, and if possible
binoculars, officials said. They
must also provide their own trans-
portation to field sites. All ages
are welcome to participate, but
children must be accompanied
throughout the survey by adults.
