SUMMARY:Frog and Toad Call Survey Training
DESCRIPTION:Calling all wildlife watchers! The Mitchell County Conservation is partnering with the Iowa DNR Wildlife Diversity program to host a Frog and Toad Call Survey Training workshop at the Milton R. Owen Nature Center. These workshops are for anybody interested in getting involved in Iowa’s Frog and Toad Call Survey\, which has been collecting data on our state’s amphibians for over 30 years!\nNaturalist Chelsea Ewen Rowcliffe has been involved with collecting data for the Frog & Toad Call Survey for over 12 years!\nTo get involved with the frog and toad call survey you will need an adventurous spirit and the interest to learn up to 16 frog and toad breeding calls. You can check out a few of those calls in the Iowa DNR wildlife sound library!\nInterested volunteers should first visit https://www.iowadnr.gov/vwmp and read through the survey requirements to see if it is something you’d have the time for and an interest in. You can then see whether there are any survey routes nearby that need a monitor by browsing the maps of available routes. If you don’t see an available route near you\, creating your own survey route is also an option!\nThe time commitment for conducting the survey and submitting data is roughly 10 hours total between April and July each year and will require being out after dark for roughly 2 hours during each survey period. Workshops are most appropriate for adults or older children (12+).\nEach workshop has limited seats available and a $10.00 fee is required. Registration will close a week prior to the workshop or whenever the workshops have been filled. Direct questions to Stephanie Shepherd at vwmp@dnr.iowa.gov.\nA huge THANK YOU to Mitchell County Conservation for hosting the workshop.\nTo learn more about the survey visit the DNR Volunteer Wildlife Monitoring Program webpage.
