About Me |
|
| The Central Indiana Frog Watchers is a local chapter of the National Wildlife Federation 's Frogwatch USA . Our Motto is “Helping to conserve frogs and toads in Central Indiana and to educate about amphibians and their declines”. [what's a Motto?...I don't know, what's a motto with you?]Our first meeting was April 4th, 2007. The goals of the chapter are to bring together people that want to make their communities better for frogs and toads. Also to encourage people to get out and enjoy nature. Our monthly meetings are free and open to the public. We have special guest speakers to tell us about frog or conservation related topics.
