Is that a cackle, a croak, or a ribbit?
ACT and Region Frogwatch invites you to a Frog Call Identification Evening in July
- Learn about our local frog species
- Learn how to identify different frogs by their calls
- Practise identifying frogs from a chorus - what species and how many are there?

ACT and Region Frogwatch runs an annual Frogwatch Census each October. The program aims to involve large numbers of volunteers to undertake frog monitoring and protect frog habitat in the ACT and region.
In spring the program will run introductory training sessions for new Frogwatchers to learn about frogs and their calls as well as the monitoring process. Field trips for more experienced Frogwatchers will also be offered. More information is available on the Frogwatch page on the Ginninderra Catchment Group website at
