Rouge Frog and Toad Survey
March 2, 2024
Event Navigation
Volunteers are needed to survey Rouge wetlands by listening for calling frogs and toads. Interested volunteers must attend a 2 hour training on March 2, learn eight calls, and survey an assigned survey block. Surveys are done independently on warm spring and summer nights several times a month, March through July. Children are welcome to participate when accompanied by a participating adult.
Amphibians are sensitive to changes in the environment as they rely on good quality wetlands and uplands. Their presence or absence is an indicator of the health of the watershed. Participants in this survey will learn about wetlands, the eight local species of frogs and toads, what their calls sound like and contribute to a long term study.
