Description: Join GTCD in our May community science event - a visual Frog and Toad Survey! Help us inventory the presence of frogs and toads at the Boardman River Nature Center and contribute important data toward amphibian conservation. We welcome naturalist of all experience and comfort levels. Community members will be lead in small group down our trails on a hunt to collect pictures of as many frogs and toads as possible to submit to the Michigan Herp Atlas. The Michigan Herp Atlas is community driven database that help helps assess changes in populations over time and measure species health. Amphibian conservation is severely limited by a lack of data on local species abundance. Without knowing the status of amphibians populations around the state, we are unable to make informed decisions on how to best preserve these threatened species. If we work together, we can help collect meaningful data for amphibian conservationists. This event is part of May's community science series on amphibian conservation. Community members are invited to join us all month long to celebrate and protect the frogs and toads of Michigan. More information at natureiscalling.org/events
