Help the Lincoln Park Conservancy monitor for frog mating calls. After training for 2 hours one Saturday, you'll be prepared to identify local frogs and toads by their species-specific calls and report the data collected to the Frog Survey database, which aids land managers and scientists in discerning changing habitats and species distribution.
Visit a chosen area 3 times from late February to mid July at dusk to listen for the calls and submit your data online. That's it!
Please register by January 27th.
