<P CLASS="MsoNormal">Spring is right around the corner and Potter Park Zoo is excited to announce this year’s Mid-Michigan FrogWatch USA Chapter training dates for aspiring frog watchers. <SPAN>Volunteers with FrogWatch USA are trained to learn when, where and how to collect data. They listen for and identify frog and toad calls at specific breeding sites around mid-Michigan, and then report their findings back to Potter Park Zoo. The information is then entered into a national database where it is used for monitoring the local amphibian population. Volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of four listening sessions over the course of the frog/toad breeding season (April – September). For those who don’t live near a wetland or pond, there are several opportunities to listen in public places. Zoo staff can counsel participants on this. </SPAN></P>
