FrogWatch Field Monitoring Session

Join DOEE, Living Classrooms, and your neighbors for FrogWatch, a community science program.

Through FrogWatch volunteers collect and submit data on calling frogs and toads in ponds and wetlands around Kingman + Heritage Islands throughout the spring and summer. FrogWatch events take place 30 min after sunset and will last for two hours. Watch the recorded orientation video here. To learn more about FrogWatch and practice your frog call skills, explore more resources here.‍ ‍

The rain date for this event will be Tuesday, June 30th.

FrogWatch monitoring sessions include over a mile of walking on the islands at night. FrogWatch is recommended for high schoolers with a chaperone and adults, as the program requires participants to stay completely quiet for multiple 5-minute increments during the monitoring walk. As frog call activity wanes later in the season, we may also listen for other nocturnal animals, so bring your curiosity!

Registration is now open!
