Vernal or seasonal pools are small, temporary bodies of water that can serve as critical habitat for frogs, salamanders, reptiles, invertebrates, and other species. The first step in developing effective conservation strategies for vernal pools and associated wildlife species is to know where on the landscape these small wetlands exist. Although several several states and organizations in the Northeast region have initiated coordinated vernal pool mapping projects, this information has never been assembled in one place.Currently, the Vernal Pool Data Cooperative (VPDC) consists of over 60,000 vernal pool locations submitted by cooperators representing ten states and two Canadian provinces from Virginia to Quebec’s...

These data consist of Level 2 field-verified and remotely-sensed (potential) vernal pool locations submitted to the Vernal Pool Data Cooperative (VPDC) by cooperators from Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, Nova Scotia, and Virginia. Data submitted to the VPDC were subject to any of three data restriction categories established by the original data source. The data restriction categories are: Level 1:Unrestricted– Available for visualization and download through the NALCC Conservation Planning Atlas; Level 2:Visualization only– Available for visualization in the Conservation Planning Atlas (http://nalcc.databasin.org/datasets/b46351fa598549e6a7c6073f490226ce); download requires permission from data source;...

Final report submitted to the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative.The primary goal of this project was to advance vernal pool conservation by improving, a) knowledge of vernal pool distribution within the North Atlantic Region, and b) capacity to map vernal pool locations using remote-sensing technology. This was achieved by: compiling a spatially explicit database (the Vernal Pool Data Cooperative) of vernal pool locations in the NALCC region, including potential and field-verified pools; identifying and describing the coordinated...

These data consist of Level 1 field-verified, field-verified (F-V) with supplemental data, and remotely-sensed (potential) vernal pool locations submitted to the Vernal Pool Data Cooperative (VPDC) by cooperators from Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Quebec, and Vermont. Data submitted to the VPDC were subject to any of three data restriction categories established by the original data source. The complete report associated with this project is included in the download of this data, it can also be downloaded separately under the Attachments tab below.
