From Eventbrite · Last checked 28 Oct. That's our last look, not a live ticket check.
Event details may change. Confirm times, availability and prices with the organiser before attending.
The lowdown
Join MAGNT’s Natural Science Team to celebrate FrogID Week and participate in Australia’s biggest frog count! Meet at Mickett Creek and help us get the jump on other froggers across Australia by listening for, and recording, the calls of our amphibious friends in the wild. The observations and recordings you make help the science community understand how different species of frogs are responding to our ever-changing world. Everyone is welcome so why not hop along and have fun in the name of science?
Suitable for ages 6+ | Free | Bookings essential | Accompanying adult required
Please cancel your booking if you are no longer able to make it to free up tickets for others.
Key Information
FrogID is the Australian Museum’s flagship citizen science project that is improving our understanding of Australia’s unique frog species.
Use the free FrogID app to provide vital information that will assist scientists with valuable data for the protection and conservation of Australia's frogs that are under threat from habitat loss, disease and climate change.
This program is taking place in a natural environment which has inherent risks.
