Monitoring Curriculum

• The Salamander Monitoring Curriculum is in its
  first year of implementation.
• Students learn about the IM Program and they
  learn about the NPS.
• They will be able to compare their findings with
  the findings we gather from the forest monitoring
  plots in the parks, which are in the vicinity of
  their salamander arrays.
