Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the Salamander Capital of the World, with higher diversity of salamanders than anywhere else of similar size. To monitor the salamander populations of Walker Valley, where Tremont Institute is located, we have artificial salamander habitats, or Salamander Hotels, placed in six streams. Using a set protocol, citizen scientists check each hotel for salamanders and identify, measure, and release any salamanders found.
