All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Salamanders are awesome. Growing up with a pond in the garden we used to go out fishing for frogspawn and salamanders all the time.
We'd hatch the frogspawn in a large aquarium out in the yard and we would watch the little frogs grow. Great way to learn about these little critters as a kid.
Salamanders were released in the pondside vegetation and eventually claimed the pond as their own. Little guys are still hanging around, even after all these years.
