Tom Krohn, Arkansas regional coordinator for Frog Watch USA, will conduct a frog listening workshop Tuesday, April 8, and Tuesday, April 15 from 6:30- 8:30 p.m. at the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History. Sponsored by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, FrogWatch USA is a citizen science program that invites individuals and families to learn about the wetlands in their communities and help conserve amphibians by reporting the calls of local frogs and toads.
The April 8 session will focus on how to identify frogs and toads by their calls. Participants will also learn about the role of frogs and toads in our ecosystem. The April 15 session will be an introduction to wetlands ecology and a discussion of volunteer opportunities with FrogWatch USA.
The workshop is free, but preregistration by April 5 is encouraged as seating is limited. To preregister or for more information, call 479-750-8165 or email [email protected]. The Shiloh Museum is located at 118 W. Johnson Avenue in downtown Springdale.
