For adults and older teens.

Learn about frogs and how to help conserve them.

There are 16 species of anurans, aka frogs and toads, in Southern Maryland (20 if you include the DMV area). Speaker Matt Neff will help you discover their songs, habitats and the vital roles they play in our ecosystems.

We’ll explain how the Calvert Nature Society and Calvert Marine Museum have partnered to monitor frog populations in Calvert County and you'll learn how you can help protect them from habitat loss and pollution.
