Great activity do to with the kiddos. The Amphibian Population Monitoring Program led by the Ecomuseum, aims to identify long term trends in frog populations in Quebec. Frog call routes are 8 km in length and distributed throughout Quebec. Each route must be visited twice during the spring months. At each station, the observer listens to frog calls for 3 minutes, then identifies and records the species heard. The data are used to compare changes in abundance of the frog species monitored.
