HOW DO WE DO IT?
Chicago Wilderness has
initiated a calling frog survey as part of its amphibian biodiversity
recovery plan. Educated volunteers collect and submit data each spring.
The level of commitment is only:
- One late winter workshop
- 3 site visits per season for multiple
seasons
- Each site visit lasts for about an hour
- Best of all, you only have to learn the
calls of 12 frogs and toads!

WHO ARE WE?
Our group is comprised of
ordinary citizens, citizen-scientists and scientists who share in common
a strong environmental ethic and a love for frogs. It does not matter if
you are a beginner or a seasoned herper; as a team we will all
contribute valuable insight into amphibians. In the process, you will
find that this is an excellent way to spend time with friends and
family. |

GOALS
Our goal in this new initiative
is to establish calling frog survey routes in all nine counties in the
Chicago Wilderness, resulting in amphibian abundance and distribution
data. Such data will be used to guide land management and to ensure that
no other amphibian suffers the fate of the cricket frog . |
