IMPORTANT NOTICE: This event has been cancelled. Please read our blog for updates!

Become a FrogWatch Citizen Scientist!

Potter Park Zoo is inviting Michigan residents to become volunteer citizen scientists and join the local chapter of FrogWatch USA. The program teaches volunteers how to identify frogs and toads by their breeding calls and help to gather data that supports a national network. This is a great program for adults and children alike and a great spring time activity for families, friends, individuals and groups to get outdoors. Families with children under 12 should contact us to ensure this program is right for them.

 

You do not have to be a frog or toad expert to be a FrogWatch USA volunteer! All you need is:

  • An interest in frogs and toads;
  • Attend one training session and join the local FrogWatch USA chapter
  • A commitment to follow the standardized protocol to monitor a wetland site over multiple evenings throughout the breeding season (February – August)

FrogWatch training classes for 2020 will be offered in the Coral Reef Room at Potter Park Zoo on the following dates:
