The Iowa DNR will be hosting four frog and toad call survey training workshops in 2023, two in person and two via Zoom. These workshops are for anybody interested in getting involved in Iowa’s Frog and Toad Call Survey, which has been collecting data on our state’s amphibians for over 30 years. Prospective surveyors must attend one of the four scheduled workshops. The Frog and Toad Call Survey has a long tradition, starting in 1991. That was the first year a group of dedicated community scientists learned the frog and toad calls and went out into the night to visit wetlands across the state. Over the years, volunteers have collected data on over 2,200 wetlands and provided an incredible record of frog and toad activity. To get involved with the frog and toad call survey, you will need an adventurous spirit and the interest to learn up to 16 frog and toad breeding calls.
