Off to a Great Start

Our boreal toad season is in full swing! A big thanks to those of you who have begun the exciting—and often challenging—work of surveying for the cryptic boreal toad and assessing the condition of its aquatic habitats.
If you haven't yet headed into the field, it's not too late to join us. We still have a few spots left to sign up on the project:
Field trips - View sites and sign up here.

So Far This Season…
Community scientists have started visiting sites and conducting surveys individually and on field trips. We're thrilled to receive your data and spend time with you both checking the 12 meta-populations in the state and looking at potential sites.
As you continue your work, you can review the virtual training as needed. You can also access community science project resources for further support.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Can’t Volunteer? That’s Okay!
With our differing physical abilities, the challenges of COVID-19, and our busy lives, not everyone can be a community scientist for this project. And that's okay—there are other ways to help!
If you have the resources, please consider donating so that this and other conservation projects can continue through this uncertain time. This statewide effort to conserve sensitive amphibians would not be possible without you.
We appreciate your generosity and dedication to Utah's wildlife and lands. Thank you so much!
A special thanks to our partners at Hogle Zoo, US Forest Service, Utah Division of Wildlife Services, Utah Geological Survey, and Utah Department of Natural Resources.
