Our goal is to establish calling frog survey routes throughout the Chicago Wilderness region, including northern Illinois and northwestern Indiana, resulting in amphibian abundance and distribution data. We particularly want to continue monitoring sites that have thus far been monitored regularly, so that we can obtain long-term data on amphibian trends within key sites. Data from the Calling Frog Survey will be used to guide regional conservation planning and local land management, to promote frog conservation and maintenance of regional frog biodiversity.
