Step into your scientist shoes and make a difference with FrogWatch!
Join this nationwide participatory science project and become a hero for frogs and toads! Since its start in 1998, FrogWatch USA has been helping researchers track amphibian populations — and now, you can be part of the mission.
By listening for frog and toad calls in your neighborhood and reporting what you hear, you’ll provide scientists with crucial data to help protect these amazing amphibians from threats such as habitat loss, pollution and climate change. No science degree is required — just a love for nature and a free certification you can earn with the Detroit Zoo!
