Celebrate Salamander Saturday with Hidden Oaks’ resident salamander Ghillie. Salamander Saturday is an initiative started by the Foundation for the Conservation of Salamanders to raise awareness about salamanders, their habitats and their role in the ecosystem. Join a naturalist for engaging activities that will turn your whole family into salamander superheroes! We will learn and play inside and outside, ending with meeting our live salamander as the grand finale.
