Discovery Station: Newts

February 14 at 10am – February 15

At University of California Botanical Garden

Panoramic Hill, Berkeley

Wear good shoes, it's hilly
Give yourself 2+ hours to explore
Two newt species: California and rough-skin

Winter rains bring a wild surprise: newts migrate to the Japanese Pool to mate, and Garden docents help you get up-close to watch these slippery romantics in action. It's a fleeting seasonal spectacle, perfect for curious kids and adults alike.
