Presenter: Julianne Bradbury, Sonoma State

How are amphibians and reptiles, known collectively as herpetofauna, impacted by fire? Some species may be particularly vulnerable to negative impacts from fire due to their relatively low dispersal abilities compared with other groups of animals. Biologist Julianne Bradbury will present her two years pre- and two years post-fire research surveying reptiles and amphibians in grassland and mixed oak-conifer forest habitats adjacent to seasonal ponds at Pepperwood Preserve in Sonoma County, CA. Join us to learn about Julianne’s findings, and how this research can help better inform land stewardship practices to support a healthy population of reptiles and amphibians living with wildfire.
