The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence-Canadian shield population of Western Chorus Frog is listed as Threatened in Canada. To learn more about this particular type of frog, Blazing Star Environmental has partnered with Environment and Climate Change Canada and Trent University to carry out a long-term, range-wide monitoring program. Spring 2022 will be the third monitoring season for the program.

The goal is to determine the distribution range and extent of the Western Chorus Frog through periodic monitoring of the specie to assist scientists with recovery efforts. There were 291 volunteers throughout Ontario last year but the more volunteers are needed for this final year. If you are interested in learning about Western Chorus Frogs and undertaking three day-time surveys, please send an email to remembercala@gmail.com.
