On May 1st, 2013, The Millersville General Biology Lab went for a red-backed salamander (picture below) hunt at a local wooded lot just outside the Millersville Campus.  The goal of the hunt was to follow a transect through the woods, look under forest debris to find salamanders, take a picture of the salamander and then GPS the location. In total the class found 14 salamanders.  In addition, they found 2 eastern garter snakes and a nice fat female American toad.  They did a great job working through the stinging nettle as well as the rasberry and rose bushes to complete the survey.  Well done.
