Remember as a child hearing the night time chorus
of frogs and toads, especially after a spring rain.
it could be so loud, it was hard to hear anything else.
have you taken the time lately, to stop and listen? is
the night time chorus still so loud? you can help the
tennessee wildlife resources agency and the center
for environmental education at middle tennessee state
university in monitoring the toads and frogs where
you live by joining the tennessee amphibian monitoring
program (tamp) and becoming a froglogger.tamp is a volunteer based monitoring program that provides citizen scientists
and naturalists an opportunity to collect data on where frogs and toads live and how well they are doing. tamp volunteers
are trained to identify the frogs and toads by their call, as well as, how to conduct the surveys, record and submit the data.
each year we lean more and more about these animals, but we need help. our goal is to cover the entire state by enlisting a
network of volunteers (frogloggers) with an interest in science, the study of amphibians and reptiles and conservation. over
time, these data will help biologists and land managers know where each species occurs and in what abundance, and will help
them make good decisions which benefit our amphibian populations, our environment and ourselves.
