Meet other Patrollers at the Pool (Patrol) Party!
Going out into the forest is always more fun with friends. The Michigan Vernal Pools Partnership and the Vernal Pool Patrol are hosting an in-person gathering for our network of volunteers, partners, and friends to connect, form monitoring groups, and as always, learn more about these fascinating wetlands.

This open house style event is an excellent way to meet and connect with folks passionate about conservation. It is intended for current Pool Patrollers, MVPP partners, and all those interested in joining the Pool Patrol or learning more about vernal pools!
