CELEBRATE WORLD FROG DAY ON MARCH 20: From NYS DEC Most everyone knows what a frog is. They were depicted in ancient drawings and carvings thousands of years ago, as well as appearing in today's cartoons. There were frogs hopping out of the way of dinosaur feet and mastodon feet and are still hopping away from the hands of human children. The shape of a frog is instantly recognizable—there are over 7,000 species worldwide! But do you know what threats frogs are facing today? These ancient creatures have endured massive changes in climate and habitat across the globe. Their greatest threat now is from humanity, even if it is not intentional. Our changing climate, land and water pollution, wetland destruction, and movement of frog predators and diseases are affecting frogs across the globe. Recent warm winter temperatures may cause frogs to emerge sooner than normal and hotter, dryer summers can be deadly. What you can do to help: Volunteer to assist on amphibian migration nights. View the recent migration event on our Facebook page: Part 1 of the recording and Part 2 of the recording. Protect habitats by purchasing a habitat and access stamp. imp— Photo of wood frog by Holly Faulkner SAVING ENERGY (AND MONEY) IN YOUR HOME March 20, 2024 - 6-7 pm If you've been thinking about buying heat pumps, adding insulation, or reducing your utility bill, this is the webinar for you!
