Mudpuppy Night

Mudpuppy Night in Oxford Mills has been bringing people face to face with Mudpuppies in the wild since 1998. Since 1998 Mudpuppy Night in Oxford Mills has been taking observers to the only place in Ontario where Mudpuppies have been repeatedly observed in large numbers throughout the winter. The Fragile Inheritance Database contains 22 years of observations — a baseline for in-depth study, which is being used by other researchers.

There is no other independent organized group in Canada which is dedicated to promoting long term monitoring. This is your chance to support the work of Fragile Inheritance.
