Thanks to the efforts of hundreds of volunteers, community scientists, and a few professional herpetologists, the Atlas has been able to document the distribution of reptiles and amphibians in Vermont, and we continue to learn more. We encourage you to get involved in our work; see below for more details. Your sightings, recordings, and photographic documentation allow us to continue to update and improve the Atlas.
