You're Invited: Boreal Toad and Aquatic Habitat Web Training
Our boreal toad and aquatic habitat assessment field season is fast approaching! We're excited to see so many community scientists ready to get out into the field and gather important amphibian and habitat data, which will assist managers in conservation planning efforts.
You're invited to join us for our web training, where you'll learn how to recognize all life stages of boreal toads and use standardized protocols to assess different aquatic/breeding habitat conditions.
