Northern Red-Legged Frog

Volunteers Needed for Amphibian Monitoring

The Bainbridge Island Land Trust is seeking volunteers for amphibian monitoring! 

We are collaborating with Bloedel Reserve and the Woodland Park Zoo to study frog and salamander populations on Bainbridge Island through egg mass surveys of ponds. Volunteers can expect to see red-legged frog eggs and tadpoles, as well as long-toed salamander eggs and larvae.

Volunteers will be required to commit to:

  • Completing 3-5 hours of self-paced, virtual training through the Woodland Park Zoo by January 17th, 2025
  • Attending one in-person field training with Bloedel Reserve the week of January 20th, 2025
  • Conducting one 3-hour field visit and data entry every month from January through May 2025

 

If you are interested in participating, please contact Megan Rohrssen or Sarah Keller. Thank you!
