West Creek Reservation Field Trip

Spring 2008

 

Year of the Frog

Tim taught the students about the importance of the health of amphibian population to our environment.  The Nature Club students helped Tim as he was able to successfully catch several frogs in the wetlands in the West Creek Reservation.  Tim demonstrated to the students how to swab the frog's skin and place it in a vial that would be sent to a lab to be tested for the Chytrid disease.
