Hi,

 

The Santa Barbara Zoo will be participating in the National Wildlife 
Federation?s *Frogwatch USA* frog and toad monitoring program.  We are 
currently in the process of recruiting volunteers for this citizen 
science project. 

 

 Frogwatch USA. Volunteer for Frogwatch USA
Contribute to frog research with as little as 20 minutes a week!
Training will take place on Thursday, February 28th at 4:30pm -- 7:00pm


This year volunteers and staff at the Santa Barbara Zoo will be 
participating in the National Wildlife Federation's Frogwatch USA frog 
and toad monitoring program. The program involves listening for the 
intensity and diversity of frog and toad calls for a few minutes after 
sunset in any of Santa Barbara's many freshwater sloughs, ponds, 
streams, or even in your own backyard.


As part of the Santa Barbara Zoo's Leap Day Celebration we will be 
hosting a training session on Thursday February 28th from 4:30-7:00 to 
help volunteers become comfortable with identifying frog calls and 
reporting their data.

For more information on Frogwatch USA please visit the National Wildlife 
Federation website www.nwf.org. If you are interested in participating 
in the program with the Santa Barbara Zoo contact Piper Presley at (805) 
962-5339 ext. 49 or email at ppresley at sbzoo.org.
