Save the Frogs Youth Education
Every year, Middle Park Conservation District educates local youth about amphibians and their conservation. On April 4th, MPCD visited West Grand Middle School's 7th and 8th graders to celebrate "Save the Frogs" Day.
Per the official STF website,
"Save the Frogs Day is an annual campaign to help raise awareness about the plight of frog species worldwide. This year, it takes place on April 26. It also encourages appreciation and a celebration of the amphibians’ role in keeping nature in balance. Frogs are in danger of being wiped out, so it is up to us to make sure that they continue to roam the Earth happily. Let’s use this day and spread much-needed awareness about this endangered species."

MPCD's educational program teaches 7th graders about amphian basics, their paleontogical history, the differences between amphibians and reptiles, and specific unique species.
The eighth grade program emphasizes conservation threats to amphibians and their possible solutions.
Below are some posters that the students made.
