FrogWatch trainings cover the importance of amphibians in the environment.The instruction focuses on how to:
1.monitor our local frog population to protect the species;
2.determine factors when choosing a site to monitor;
3.recognise frog species by their calls;
4.report findings to FrogWatch USA.
After passing a test on identifying frog calls at the end of the training,certified volunteers then commit themselves to monitoring a local amphibian habitat (such as a pond or a lake) approximately once a week for about 15 minutes,and collecting/submitting the data on what they hear.Data collected will be added to a national FrogWatch USA database.In 2020,Rhode Island FrogWatch citizen scientists followed 80 sites almost 900 times! In those 900 observations,FrogWatchers,heard more than 1,220 frog choruses.
