Michigan Needs Frogs, Toads and They Need Your Help
Annual survey is important indicator of habitat health and great family learning activity
As temperatures begin to warm up, critters that sleep through the Winter months begin to wake up. That includes 13 different species of frogs and toads across Michigan. The Southeast part of the state is home to 10 of those species. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources conducts an annual frog and toad count. Lori Sargent is a Wildlife Biologist with the DNR. She tells WDET’s Amy Miller the health of frog and toad populations is indicative of the overall health of its habitat and surrounding eco-system.
