Newt-crossing
March 3, 2022 - Petaluma, CA: The Chileno Valley Newt Brigade is a group composed of volunteers with the goal of protecting newts as they cross a busy road that divides their mating grounds from their grassy homes. When a newt is spotted a volunteer will document it and help it across the busy road.
