Frogwatch USA is a national program encouraging volunteers of all ages to monitor their local amphibian populations and to report their findings to the national Frogwatch program. Co-sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Wildlife Federation, Frogwatch helps students understand the importance of amphibians, the process of scientific monitoring, and the impacts of their contributions to greater understanding of amphibian populations' health and status.
