FIND A FROG IN FEBRUARY

This year, after all the rain, night songs are abundant throughout the Valley with the lead singers our amazing frogs. The frogs are busy calling out for a mate as well as calling to defend their territories from other would-be-suitors. Now is the breeding season. 

Every year the Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee (MRCCC) holds the Citizen Science Program `Find a frog in February`. 

Did you know that about one quarter of the frogs in our district are under the threat of extinction?

Did you know that these amazing little creatures give us an overall picture of how our natural environment is fairing?

NIGHT FROG DETECTIVES are needed to help spot frogs and is a fun way to help in protecting our very important natural environment.

The MRCCC wants people to Find a frog and take photos and/or record their songs and make a note of their locations.

For information please hurry up and visit the MRCCC`s website to download a data sheet and be in the running for a frog book gift.
