TAMWORTH — Three conservation organizations are encouraging residents to participate in a citizen science effort to identify amphibian migration hot spots and monitor road crossings in the Saco River watershed this spring.

The Green Mountain Conservation Group, Chocorua Lake Conservancy and Tin Mountain Conservation Center are asking volunteers to take part in “Big Night” salamander crossings, when amphibians migrate from winter habitats to breeding grounds during the first warm 40 degree, rainy nights of the season.
