Learn how to conduct your own frog monitoring survey and identify local frog species with Ecologist/Zoologist David De Angelis and Melbourne Water's Frog Census Coordinator and Ecologist Jane Petch.

About the Frog Census

The Spring Frog Census program is an exciting community activity that is open to everyone. The program aims to involve large numbers of volunteers for frog monitoring in Manningham and the surrounding region.

To participate, simply come along to our free Frog Census training event, where you will learn all about our amphibian friends. You will receive training on our local frog species and how to use the Melbourne Water Frog Census App.

All frog call recordings collected by volunteers will be uploaded onto the Melbourne Water Frog Monitoring App to be assessed and identified by a frog expert. It’s easy and fun – and you don’t have to be a frog expert!

Information collected will be shared with participants and data used to help conservation efforts.

Why frog monitoring?

Frogs play an important role in waterway and wetland ecosystems and are unfortunately vulnerable to changes in their environment such as urbanisation. By helping collect data, you’ll be helping plan on ground action that will protect and conserve these valuable amphibians.

Program outline

• 6.45pm to 7.00pm - supper
• 7.00pm - local frog species presentations
• 8.30pm - optional night walk to the Currawong Bush Park Wetlands.

Special instructions

Download the Melbourne Water Frog Census App before coming to the session.

Please come prepared for the weather and an outdoor walk at night. Bring a torch and good quality shoes as the bush track to the wetlands can be steep and slippery.

Come along and learn from market gardener and passionate seed saver, Julie Bennett from Montalto Kitchen Gardener and Seeds are free. 

In this session, we'll cover the incredible world of seeds, while also discussing tips, tricks and techniques for how to successfully save your own seed – year after year. This will save you money while preserving heritage seeds and maintaining the genetic diversity and local adaptations of our food crops.

This seminar begins at 6.15pm. Please bring along any saved or excess seeds for a seed swap party afterwards! Please ensure your seeds are correctly labelled (envelopes will be provided).

About Home Harvest: Home Harvest is a free, complete home gardening program that runs monthly from February to December.
