Spring Peeper and Wetlands Nature Walk
On Saturday, April 13, 2024 at 6:30 pm, the Dreibelbis Farm Historical Society will host a Spring Peeper and Wetlands Walk at the Historic Dreibelbis Farm in Virginville. The event features a very special location on the farm—the Vernal Pool in our wetlands area near the Maiden Creek. Naturalist–guide, Amy Langman, will introduce the real stars of the evening—tiny singing frogs called Spring Peepers. Along with deer, spotted salamanders, wood frogs, bull frogs, and snapping turtles, the vernal pool is home to thousands of the tiny peepers. Because this is a “walk on the wild side” of the historic farm, we ask that participants wear waterproof boots for ankle deep mud & water.
The event is free to the public and will be held rain or shine. Parking is on-site and monetary donations will be gratefully accepted. The Historic Dreibelbis Farm is located on Route 143 south of the village of Virginville. Street Address: 356 Hard Hill Road, Hamburg, PA.
The Spring Peeper and Wetlands Walk is an environmental/educational event hosted by the DFHS, to fulfill their mission to preserve and protect the historic Dreibelbis farm and to make it available to the public. The tenth annual Wildflower Walk will be on May 4th and the twelfth annual Historic Farm Festival will be held on August 24th.
