Adopt a Species
Blue-spotted salamanders are undeniably fascinating creatures with blueish spots covering their entire bodies from head to toe. Is it surprising that NatureServe sought inspiration from blue-spotted salamanders when designing our logo? Be part of the legacy by adopting the blue-spotted salamander to support the next 50 years of biodiversity conservation across North America.
