More Information
Some of the Australia's Vanishing Frogs weekends are family teams. Please check the Booking Info tab for dates.
Field training will be given to volunteers over the weekend. The volunteers provide vital support in tasks that are labour intensive. Animals need to be located (a skill which can be learned) and collected. Once collected, animals are processed (measured, weighed, health checked, non-obtrusive collection of tissues, and marked) and released as rapidly as possible to the point of capture. The data is then recorded.
