  • The Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas Update: 2016
    The Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas Update 2016 August 21, 2017 For the Forest Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative James S. Andrews Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas Project (2016) Background Localized intensive monitoring Amphibian monitoring at Mt. Mansfield and Lye Brook Wilderness provides locally intensive data on a subset of amphibian species. While these data are particularly valuable and allow us to see year-to-year population changes of the monitored species at these sites and provide local information on abnormalities, and natural history, they do not allow us to see more widespread changes in the distribution and/or natural history (calling times, migration dates, etc.) of the full range of reptiles and amphibians statewide. Nor do they allow us to see changes in forest health, or the impacts of forest fragmentation and consumption on a larger scale. In addition, there is a real need to get reptile and amphibian natural history and management information out to a wide variety of landowners and land managers as well as other natural resource professionals. Statewide extensive monitoring The Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas is an effort begun in 1994 by the Reptile and Amphibian Scientific Advisory Group for the Vermont Endangered Species Committee. The atlas project initially began as an effort to gather data for use by this committee. Data were needed in order to make informed recommendations regarding the appropriate status and conservation of these species. Since then, the goals have widened to incorporate education, citizen involvement, and dissemination of information. The ultimate goal of the Atlas is to gather and disseminate data on the reptiles and amphibians of Vermont in a way that involves and informs Vermont individuals and organizations so that they will become more informed and effective stewards of wildlife habitat.
