What better year to learn more about native frogs and toads than the “Year of the Frog”? This workshop is designed to help familiarize you with local amphibians. Texas Amphibian Watch also offers you the opportunity to help conserve amphibians in Texas. Volunteers of this program play an important role in being the eyes and ears in Texas.
You can get involved by:
- Being an Amphibian Spotter
- keeping your eyes peeled for amphibians wherever you go.
Adopting a Frog Pond- picking a site you will visit over time to watch (and listen) for changes in the populations.
Malformation Monitoring- examining frogs and toads at your site to look for any abnormalities
Conducting a Texas Frog and Toad Survey- you will establish listening stops on a roadside route that is part of a national monitoring system
The cost for this workshop is only $5 and includes a CD of the calls of Texas frogs and toads. The workshop will run from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm, ending with a walk on zoo grounds and around the HermanPark pond to listen for and spot frogs and toads.
