Vernal Pools: An Explosive Conservation Project |

Saturday, 05 April 2008 |
|
In February and April of last year, Erie MetroParks successfully used
explosives to create vernal pools at Edison Woods Preserve located off
of SR 61 in Berlin Township, Erie County, as part of an ongoing effort
to restore wetlands at the site. A vernal pool is a contained
depression lacking a permanent above ground outlet, basically a low
area where water collects but is not connected to creek, river, etc.
The Edison Woods area, long before it was protected as a nature
preserve, was historically home to many vernal pools and the special
organisms that inhabit them. However, decades ago they were removed as
a result of agricultural use.
