FrogWatch USA is a Citizen Science Monitoring Program that gives YOU the opportunity to help scientists conserve amphibians! Being a FrogWatch volunteer gives you the opportunity to gather information that will help increase awareness of nationwide amphibian declines that can ultimately lead to practical and workable ways to help conserve these important species – all while helping you learn more about the wetlands in your community and the calls of frogs and toads in your community!

FrogWatch USA has been managed by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) since 1998, however the management of this long-term amphibian study is currently in a year-long process of transitioning to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). During this period, NWF will continue hosting the FrogWatch Website through the 2009 FrogWatching season and data collection processes will continue uninterrupted.

To learn more about AZA and find current FrogWatch updates and related news visit http://www.aza.org/frogwatch/.

Anyone can volunteer! You do not have to be a frog or toad expert to make a contribution; all you need is an interest in frogs and toads.
