Frog Walk

Title: Frog Walk
Date: Sunday, March 31, 2019
Time: 1:00 pm
Where: White Eagle, Parlowtown Road, Marion
Leader(s): Lorene Sweeney and Sippican Lands Trust

Join SLT and Lorene Sweeney as we look for amphibian signs of spring.   We’ll meet at the end of Parlowtown Road and walk the hopefully wet and lively woods to White Eagle parcel.  Along the way, we’ll look at ponds and pools for signs of spring.  While very weather and temperature dependent we hope to see and hear spring peepers and maybe Wood frogs in their frenetic spring breeding season.  Lorene Sweeney will share her experiences with the citizen science program “Frog Watch” (A training for Frogwatch USA is scheduled by the Buttonwood Park Zoo on March 30th https://www.bpzoo.org/get-involved/frogwatch-usa/ )  This should be a short walk of a mile or so,  the terrain is flat, there is considerable wet areas and muddy stretches so boots are recommended.
