If you weren’t able to join us, here are some simple things you can do to protect frogs:

1. If you use bug spray, make sure it does not contain DEET which is extremely harmful to amphibians.

2. Avoid using toxic household chemicals found in some detergents, sanitizers and sprays in excess or near water sources.

3. Keep litter and waste out of street gutters and storm drains which filter directly into lakes, streams, rivers and wetlands.

4. Avoid dumping oil, antifreeze or other household chemicals down sink drains or into the toilet. Contact your local Solid Waste Management Office to find out how to dispose of these materials properly.

Just these simple actions will help preserve frog health and our environment! For more on how you too can help our world’s amphibians visit Year of the Frog website.
