Santa Cruz Long-toed Salamanders!

The first amphibian surveys of the new wetlands that were created at the Triple M Ranch have been completed...

and we are very excited to report that we found substantial numbers of Santa Cruz Long-toed salamanders in two of the new ponds on the property.

This brings the number of breeding sites in Monterey County up from a previous total of 5 to 7!
