Management Tags

Management Priority
Esp. vulnerable to local extinction. Because this species is associated with the meadow/forest border, keeping the meadow area adjacent to sites 12 and 13 unmowed during the warm months might prove beneficial to this species--Tiebout, 2003. NPBIB-552045.
Seasonality Tags

Breeder
Behavioral observations and the variation in body sizes suggest that VAFO may contain a small, reproducing population--Tiebout, 2003. NPBIB-552045.; Data Source: Brad Ross, Herpetofauna taxa expert, 9/11/2006.
