Salamanders, like their noisy and better-known “cousins” frogs and toads, are amphibians. This area is the salamander capital of the world.

Citizens of all ages are invited to hunt for salamanders from 10-11:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 25 at Buffalo Mountain Park. Hunters will meet at the Harris Pavilion, and after a brief discussion will head to Catbird Creek to do some sleuthing and see what can be found. Attendees will carefully catch, identify and release.

This is a free program. Registration is not required.

For more information, call 423-283-5821.
