New! Nothing says spring like the sound of peepers, wood frogs, and other amphibian friends. Frogs and toads are a great reflection of the health of our ecosystems, which is where Project FrogWatch comes in. Through this training you’ll learn what spring and summer surveying of frogs and toads can tell us and scientists, all while contributing to real-life data through Citizen Science! Also known as community science, citizen science is when members of the general public contribute to a broad-range of environmental scientific research projects. Focusing on Project FrogWatch, participants will gain frog and toad surveying knowledge and how-to, with in-class practice. Participants will walk away with a clear understanding of the function and purpose of citizen science as well as the confidence to carry out Project FrogWatch at their home, school, or work place.
