Big Classic pool, very active and productive with abundant larvae for both SPSA and WOFR, Jeffersons eggs uncertain, degraded but seemed likely- must have been many more SPSA eggs, to big and deep to see many parts.

Park along Union Brook Rd at dirt woods road with green metal gate. Follow trail up ~1km then off to west up steep hill to top, GPS.
small hilltop pool cluster with MLS834. Decidous oak woods to E, mixed to W of ridge. Some very old stumps in area. Other apparently very ephemeral basins, some rutted, within 200ft to north (full after recent rains, but no indicators).
Lots of SPSA larvae, tannin-rich water- oaky. bedrock basin, higher elevation than MLS834 nearby to S. ATV/logging trail to N- probably different owner, some rutting in other ephemeral basins(no indicator spp. present).

Owner uncertain, maybe Senator Leahy (according to neighbor who gave access- Shapiro/Menendez). I collected data on the whole pool cluster before realizing I had crossed the boundary.
hemlock hardwood stand. Part of dense pool cluster.
Largest, most productive pool in dense pool cluster. Nice down tree in pool for attachments. small lobe to north cut off at lower water. Extremely tannic water and depth of pool made visibility poor, probably more eggs.

Potential pool in conifer forest

Assume Jefferson Salamander use pool due to proximity of other Jeff populations, but no eggs observed. No algae, pool very clear.

Large pool on shoulder
Seepy pool, but appears productive. Bottom was soft and mucky, suggesting ground water influence.
Spermatophores present. Assume Spotted salamander also use pool, but could not locate any eggs. Pool was difficult to survey due to size and mucky bottom.

Tunbridge
Pasture is owned by the Armstrongs. They have previously granted me permission to be on the property, although have not asked about vernal pool mapping.

Hwy 106 and horse trail are nearby, but other wise, the area seems undisturbed. It is possible that a small amount of water is flowing in under the leaf litter from the road area. Unclear. It seems stagnant.
Adult Green Frog, another unidentified adult frog. Hundreds of tadpoles. Several egg masses (more or less hatched) with green coloration. Tadpoles seem to convene around them. Saw highly developed egg mass, yet to hatch.

This series of pools is just off of a trail that has a lot of mountain bikers on it. There are lots of ferns around it and the water looks almost black due to a very goopy algae/slime along the bottom.
The outlet is a small stream/trickle that may cease once water is lower. It also may have been created just so mountain bikers could get through mud over little bridge.
We saw many tadpoles (see photos). Mosquitoes are no longer larval! We saw about 7 Red Efts. One of them only had three legs, but it seemed to walk alright with a limp. We saw a large adult frog but were unable to id it before it hid under leaves.

Take first sharp right turn a ways up Camels Hump road. Park at VAST trail access gate where this road makes a hairpin turn. Follow VAST trail up to larger stream crossing, bushwack up drainages to site.
perched high elevation pool- another tiny marginal ephemeral pool 150 ft north. Part of substrate is bare bedrock, mostly litter covered though.
Dramatic classic pool perched on bench at base of steep broken cliff. no Spotteds, too high elevation? Tadpoles abundant but noticeably smaller than lower pools. Pool fed by seepage off cliff, at head of stream gully.

Downer State Forest along old logging road.
A lot of duckweed.

Shallow, short-hydroperiod pool.

From trailhead behind state capitol climb the hill up to the hilltop tower in Hubbard Park. Follow main trail west a few hundred meters to right turn, pool is just off to the left(west side).
Well used,extensive public trail network adjacent and in surrounding area
frequent wading by pets/ people using trail
Marginal pool, shallow, heavily vegetated, probably not productive in dry years. Visibility impaired at time of survey. Pool bank/edge eroded by dogs and foot traffic from trail-appears to be a favored watering/mucking spot of dogs.

pool is a set of marshy skidder ruts, but may be functional habitat. entire area clearcut 10-20 yrs ago, all regenerating except huge clearing with camp development. filling near pool edges
skid ruts in marshy are, extensive filling/clearing from camp development nearby. Looks like it may be viable pool.

I was unable to actually see any wood frogs or spotted salamanders, but I heard a lot of frogs and know for a fact both wood frogs and spotted salamanders are present in this area

We stumbled across this pool by accident. It is one of three in a clump. They are visible from the road if you look down the steep bank.
From Woodstock, drive south on Hwy 106, through South Woodstock until pull off on right at GPS points: 43.53122, -72.55601. Walk across road to trail. Pools are just on right down hill.
There were some tadpoles in this pool. They were not identified and we didnt take any photos. We got distracted by what we thought were loads of fairy shrimp and took a whole slew of photos. When we got home we realized wed been duped by mosquitoes!

Off of the woods road coming from the large clearing off of Jenkins Road
The woods road leads right to this pool, its right off the road. It could possibly have historically been a rut and there were tire tracks running into it. There is evidence that there were other pools in the area previously in the season.

From Cox District Rd, follow dirt road towards Vondell Reservoir. After reservoir, at fork, go left. When you reach a clearing go up towards right and into woods a few yards.
There were two pools right next to each other on the map (KWN934 and KWN225). We were only able to find one pool, so were not sure which one we were at.
The pool was still directly surrounded by forest, but very close by, an area of land seemed was cleared.
Eggs were mostly green. We saw several adult Green Frogs in and around the pool. In the logged clearing nearby the pool we saw the Pickerel Frog basking in the sun.

Some question as to accuracy of location but otherwise looks good.

An old logging road 300 yards east of the Tucker Mountain summit leads south past the pond.
This large (.25 acre) vernal pool sits below the open field at the summit of Tucker Mountain. It is surrounded by deciduous trees including a large, open grown yellow birch, and is perched adjacent to a stone wall. It is the center of an ecological protection zone that is mentioned in the Vermont Land Trust's conservation easement.

Wet area with open water, but has inlet and outlet, may be pool or other wetland type
Wood frog eggs are oddly absent (at least I cant see them...). Very deep and productive. Looks like it was part of a seep that was partially damed and now has deep open water. Semi-perm or perm hydrology

Nice looking pool, may be forested swamp?

Long thin potential pool on summit
East off of Ridge Trail on top of high flat area. About 0.2 miles from the trail.

From #74 Four Wheel Drive Road, Norwich walk north past pool 1169. Pool is on the left.
No egg masses were observed on 4/23/23. I'll return later in the week.

There were 3 pools present
Betsy Graiser
White pine, maple, and beech trees were observed
Freshly hatched tadpoles, no egg masses observed

Near intersection of woods road and the Long Trail, on flat. Near New Boston trail.
This looks like it dried up some earlier in the spring and now has partial water.

Smallest of the 3 pools noted in this area
This pool appeared to be a depression in an old logging road
2 egg masses were noted, with larval salamanders hatching

medium size pool along ridgeline
Fairy Shrimp were abundant in deeper water but were unable to collect any for ID.

medium pool along ridgeline

Between State Park Road and Donaldson Road, near US Rte 2.

No indication if site is VP based on physical characteristics

May be shadow?, looks ok on CIR but not on ortho
Park along County Rd. near wet opening on west side, small access trail/road takes you up first slope, then follow GPS to S end of ridgeline.
skid ruts and stumps/ scarification on W edge of pool- at least 10 years old
red spotted newt, phantom midges, dragonfly larvae
adult salamanders noted were dead. Awesome ridgetop pool, super productive. Possibly more Jeffersons salanders -hard to count. Abundant aquatic plant- Najas sp. Another small pool 100m north (rutted). Pools are on uncertain property boundary.

Long thin, looks good, near road
Park along road, follow gps short way to pool, small trail skirts on edge of long pool.
coordinates for kwn256 and 257 are off and these appear to be the N and S ends of one long pool that crosses property lines rather than 2 separate pools. coordinates I give are roughly centered in pool.
south end of pool has some old stumps/ slash in/around it. A woods road/trail follows east side of pool within 50ft- good condition though, minor usage.
Long deep interesting pool but appears to lose water rapidly based on litter and large areas of pool bottom covered by live sphagnum moss. Keep your eyes out for a digital camera I lost around here somewhere!!

Go southeast on Blue Ridge Trail, site is south of the trail about 500 ft.
This site is at the head of a slow moving ephemeral stream. Currently very low water but if had normal snow melt/runoff,there is a flat area where a pool can form. There is a slight slope.
No indicator species

Long thin potential pool on summit
East off of Ridge Trail on top of high flat area. About 0.2 miles from the trail.

Very small pool. Marginal habitat. Sufficient hydroperiod likely only in very wet years. Tannic. Sallie eggs laid attached to a dead wood frog !
coords 500 from orginal point..Move KWN point to field location

Small pool. Likely sufficient hydroperiod only in wetter years. No sign of sallie eggs, though habitat is good. Nice context.

swampy; trailside
Shallow. Fits definition of VP, but very marginal habitat. Small, not very diverse. Sufficient hydroperiod likely only in the wettest of years.

Very small pool (8'x12'), may be large puddle

West side of FR99 near FS boundary. 300 ft. From FR99
Low water conditions may have made this more of a pool than would otherwise be here as this appears to a part of a slow moving ephemeral stream.

Small pool.
Tiny pool, marginal at best.
Marginal pool, probably only productive in wet years.

Sphagnum moss submerged. Cant get good egg counts due to lack of visibility. Nice looking pool, if a bit shallow. No sign of sallies; but they are likely here.

Pool is off of GMNF Road 27 at intersection of FR 27 and the trail that goes to the SuckerBk diversion Dam.
Wood frogs were calling, I estimated their number. There is a trickle of runoff from FR27 that runs toward the pool. This runoff comes under the road from a ditch on the opposite side of the road..

Pool had ice cover for about half of its surface. Elsewhere, there was skim ice on most of the pool from frost last night.

Nice looking pool, but under conifers so should be field checked

Saw some adults. Too quick to count and too many. Second pool had about 1/2 the population of the first pool. Covered in ice last weekend.
Perhaps the 15,000 wood frogs eggs is referring to individual eggs, not egg masses?

Small unmapped pools in a headwaters wetlands complex
Old ruts are deepest spots of pools where wood frog eggs are found

Approximately 1 hour hike uphill from Cascades trail parking area. Some old forest roads available then scrambling upslope
Has an inlet and outlet might be debatable on if it is a vernal pool or not. Does have ok depth and breeding wood frogs
See note above about inlet and outlet. I consider it a vernal pool. Others might not. It is certainly debatable
Very small in size (10'x10'). A photo would help.

On private property along a small oxbow of a small stream. Landowner permission required before site can be accessed.
Spring runoff fills pool and then it disconnects from stream and averages 6 to 8 inches of water.
I have observed this very small oxbow pool for over three years now. It has had wood frog egg masses in it before in addition to spotted salamander egg masses. At this time this year we only found spotted salamander egg masses. Spring runoff adds water
