A Night of Froggery
Friday, June 2, 2017
8:30 pm - 10:00 pm
DNR's herpetologist
John Jensen will help
us learn more about
frogs and toads. We
will catch frogs to find
out how to identify these croaking creatures
by sight and sound, and why they call. Our
program begins with a presentation, then a
hike to nearby ponds. Then we will travel via caravans (bring your own
vehicle) around the CEWC property. Bring a headlamp or flashlight and
dress for the outdoors (especially if you want to go after frogs in the
water.) Boots and shoes to get muddy are welcomed. Program is held
rain or shine.
All ages are welcome, but children must be supervised. Register now!
