Western Maine Audubon presents “Maine Big Night: Amphibian Migration Monitoring”
Thomas Auditorium in UMF's Preble Hall 173 High Street, FARMINGTON, ME, United StatesFARMINGTON – Western Maine Audubon is sponsoring a talk by Greg LeClair titled, “Maine Big Night: Amphibian Migration Monitoring.” The talk will be held live in Thomas Auditorium, Preble Hall on the UMF campus on Wednesday, March 13 at 7 p.m. It is free and open to the general public.
