Abstract:

Every year since 2006, the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources hosts a week-long volunteer event in order to keep track of the number of hellbenders in rivers. Hellbenders are large aquatic salamanders that have recently seen falling populations, yet are good indicators for clean water and strong populations of other aquatic species.
