Atlas in the News
Every so often, the Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas is publicized in newspapers, magazines, podcasts, and on the web. We are always pleased and grateful when this happens.
To read more about the Vermont Reptile and Amphibians Atlas Project or related herptile conservation efforts in Vermont please explore some of the following articles, cited below, to learn more about our activities. You may also find interesting links in our DVD reviews. Offsite links will have this icon: 
(Sometimes links offsite expire; please let the webmistress know if this happens. Such links will be made inactive in our citations below.)
If you'd like to write about us, or discuss herptiles with us, please contact Jim Andrews. We’re always happy to hear from you. Thanks.
