Ask the Frog Staff: How can I donate directly to the Amphibian Conservation Program?

Today, I was asked how one can support the Amphibian Conservation Program through donations.  On the Garden's main website, there is a link for just that! If you are interested in donating, the money goes directly towards caring for our amphibian collections or supporting conservation research efforts. You can also let us know if there is a specific project you are interested in supporting. Thank you for your consideration! Here is the link: http://atlantabotanicalgarden.org/node/99

New Volunteers in the Amphibian Conservation Program!

This week we welcomed 6 new volunteers into our Amphibian Conservation Program. They will be helping us maintain the amphibian and invertebrate collections, talk with visitors about how cool frogs are and why we need them to stick around, and help with our native amphibian conservation and recovery programs.  Leslie and I (far left and far right) outside of the frogPOD with John, Chelsea, Kimesha, Al, Chris and Chris ... our new volunteers in Amphibian Conservation
