Frogwatch

Introduction to Frogwatch

WELCOME TO FROGWATCH PEI! By participating in this program you will help to increase our knowledge of frogs and toads in Prince Edward Island. Frogs and toads are a part of local biodiversity - the amazing variety of life around us. Conserving biodiversity is essential to the health of the planet and the welfare of humankind. Frogs and toads also have a special role to play in keeping the environment healthy. Perhaps because they live "on the edge" between water and land, frogs and toads are very sensitive to pollution and other environmental changes.

By listening to frog and toad mating calls, naturalists, schools, and community members can record and submit observations that are important in monitoring the health of Prince Edward Island's wetlands.
