In collaboration with the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department (VFWD), VCE created the Vermont Vernal Pool Atlas (VPAtlas), a state-wide repository of all things vernal pool. VPAtlas is a web-available database of vernal pool location data, monitoring data, and an interactive Community Science data-gathering tool that welcomes public use. Anyone can become a VPAtlas user and contribute to this community resource by recording their observations of vernal pool locations, indicator species, and more.
The VPAtlas is an outgrowth of the Vernal Pool Mapping Project, which VCE initiated in 2008 along with Arrowwood Environmental, during which we mapped the location of over 4,000 remotely-sensed “potential” pools, as well as several hundred field-verified pools.
