Medford Students Conserve Fells by Introducing Salamanders

MEDFORD - Medford High School biology students and teachers have been working with a conservation group to raise marbled salamanders and reintroduce them to the Middlesex Fells, where they haven't been seen since 1932.

Last week a group of students and teachers brought the salamanders into a vernal pool in the woods outside of the high school. These salamanders were raised in biology classrooms from larvae to their mature stage during this school year.
