It's our Festival of Frogs!
What’s all that racket? Why, the sweet sounds of amorous amphibians have begun! Participants will learn about native frogs, their calls and habits in an engaging indoor presentation and then head outdoors at dusk to hunt for breeding frogs, toads, salamanders, newts and their eggs in our frog-filled wetland. This event is always a sell-out, so hop to it.
This event is best-suited for ages six years and up. After the presentation we'll divide up into small groups of ten for the night hike down to our Cattail Marsh.
-Families welcome!
-Adults without children welcome too! (it's not just "for kids")
-Indoor presentation is 30-40 mins and seated. Younger children/siblings are welcome, but the presentation depth and hike length are developmentally suited for ages 6+.
-Ticket price for ages 3 years and up is $5/person. Ticket price for ages 2 years and younger are free (we would expect this age to sit on a lap in a presentation).
-Wear layers to stay warm on a cool spring evening
-Wear shoes appropriate for a light hike.
-Bring your raingear (boots, jacket, hat). The frogs love the rain, but we want to stay dry and comfortable.
-Bring a headlamp or flashlight, we only have a few to loan.
-As always, we love dogs, but please leave yours at home unless they are a service animal.
-We cannot accommodate scout troops at this particular event.
