RIBBIT, RIBBIT! Calling all frog lovers! FrogWatch USA is a citizen science program set up through AZA to help scientists collect data and vital information on frogs and toads. Join us for an hour-long classroom training where you will listen to the chorus of croaks, ribbits, and ‘jug-a-rums’, learn about all the native frogs and toads that live right here in western North Carolina, and identify the type of frog or toad by their call. Then we’ll head out to a couple of hoppin’ frog spots around the Asheville area to see what species we can observe. Program is geared to those ages 10 and up.
Cost: $20 per person. Bonus: If you go out and monitor for FrogWatch 4 times after this training, you can get $10 back – ask for more details!
