We would just like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us this season for a guided day survey or overnight camping trip! Your passion for boreal toads inspires us in our work to conserve these incredible species.
If you didn't get a chance to join us, don't fret! The toads are still toad-ing, and we're relying on volunteers like you to get out and tell us what you're seeing! There are still opportunities to document toads and other amphibians through Opportunistic Surveys and Independent Monitoring Sites! Visit the Sign Up form to see which sites we're particularly interested in.
