This free volunteer training workshop includes fun and educational lessons in identifying local frog and toad species by their calls, understanding the conservation issues that amphibians face, and practicing the FrogWatch USA protocols to collect data for citizen science.
No previous scientific background or knowledge of amphibians is required.
This training is for adults, though youth ages 10 and up are welcome with an adult who will also complete the training.
Upon completion of both sessions, participants will be recognized as FrogWatch USA volunteers. The second session will provide volunteers the opportunity to practice FrogWatch protocols and complete a knowledge assessment.
There is no fee to participate in the training sessions or to become a FrogWatch volunteer, however, registration is required. Registration for the first session automatically registers participants in the second session.
