Want to volunteer for a local conservation project? Join us for a FrogWatch USA training session! FrogWatch USA is the Association of Zoos Aquariums' flagship citizen science program that allows individuals and families to learn about the wetlands in their communities and help conserve amphibians by reporting the calls of local frogs and toads.
The training session will include a background on citizen science programs, the history of FrogWatch USA, wetland information, amphibian biology, and monitoring protocol. The training session will also go over Central Florida frog and toad calls, and will include take-home material, including an audio C.D.
Please don't plan on being a frog and toad call expert after this 4-hour training course, as the training will cover quite a bit of information! The idea is to go over frog and toad calls in the training session and to review more at home.
Please email Amy Reaume at areaume@brevardzoo.org with the training date you will be attending. We hope to see you at one of the training sessions! Please note, participants must be at least 7 years old to participate and must be accompanied by an adult. Participants must be at least 13 years old to attend a training without an adult.
The training sessions will be held at the Brevard Zoo on the following dates from 4:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.:
Wednesday, February 8
