Did you know that you don’t have to be an amphibian expert to help protect frogs and toads in Connecticut? YOU can make a real difference just by gathering information that will help conservation efforts and declining amphibian populations. And the best part – IT’S FUN!! Join us along with the experts from FrogWatch USA as we listen, monitor and identify native frogs who call Newtown home. Surrounded by chirps, barks, croaks, beeps and peeps, it’s a great way to immerse yourself in the serenades of the wetlands that are so important to our fragile ecosystem.

Meet your FrogWatch USA experts:

• Jim Knox, Curator of Education, Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo
• Andrew Connolly, Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo, Educator
• Bridget Cervero, Associate Director of Education, The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk

FrogWatch USA is a national community science project focused on inspiring conservation through education. We are grateful to bring this important event to the community in partnership with a local FrogWatch Chapter.

Special note: On the evening of the event, please meet in the parking area of Dickinson Park off of Deep Brook Rd. Guests should wear appropriate attire and mud proof/waterproof hiking boots, bring a headlamp or flashlight. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
