- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
The Tonto National Forest is looking for some volunteers to help control an infestation of non-native bullfrogs at an earthen reservoir near Young, AZ. Bullfrogs are native to the eastern US and are a serious threat to native frogs in Arizona. They also eat mammals, birds, amphibians, fishes and reptiles. Bullfrogs will be captured by seining (essentially using a big net). Four-wheel drive may be needed to access the site in some weather conditions. Training will be provided. This is a long-term project, to ensure complete removal of the bullfrogs.

Mission Statement
Friends of the Tonto National Forest is a group of volunteers who assist the Forest Service in its critical mission of natural and cultural resource and visitor use management. We promote public understanding of the Tonto National Forest’s policies, programs and projects.
Description
Friends of the Tonto National Forest was founded by a former Forest Service employee in order to help the Forest Service achieve the many projects that are being done. The Tonto is over 2.9 million acres, so managing it takes a lot of people! Friends of the Tonto organizes the following projects: Riparian Photopoint, Invasive Plant Removal, Milkweed for Monarchs, Cave Creek Trail System Maintenance, Water Source Inventory, Adopt-a-Site, and Archaeology.
