Frogwatch is an exciting community activity that is open to everyone with an interest in frogs. Frogwatch aims to involve large numbers of volunteers to undertake frog monitoring in the ACT and region.

To participate, simply come along to one of our free Frogwatch training events, where you will learn all about our amphibian friends. You will receive a free Frogwatch kit, which includes all you need to know to participate in the ACT and Region National Water Week Frogwatch Census in October 2009.

Frogwatch Basics seminars will run Wednesday, 23 September and Wednesday, 7 October from 6-9pm at the Botanic Gardens.

Each seminar will cover all you need to know to participate, including identifying frog species, using Frogwatch field data sheets, undertaking habitat assessments and performing your first frog monitoring activity. This seminar will include a short walk in the gardens to practice our frog identification skills. Please note, both of these introductory seminars will be the same, you only need to attend on one evening.

RSVP’s are essential. Registrations close on Wednesday, 16 September 2009.
