We met with the Amphibian Conservation Coordinator at Atlanta Botanical Gardens and talked frogs- read the interview here! We promise it is super cool!
We couldn’t celebrate Save the Frogs Day without some tips on how you can help:
- Create a frog friendly backyard. Let your grass grow and reduce trash and chemicals in your yard. Also provide a water feature.
- Learn about the frogs in your area.
- Conserve water.
- Recycle! Recycle! Recycle!
- Check out organizations like SAVE THE FROGS!
Save the Frogs Day wouldn’t be complete without a little music from our favorite frog- Kermit!
