When: 7pm - 9pm, Tuesday 17th November 

Ever wondered what lives in the wetlands after dark? Join us for the annual Frog Census at Alphington Wetlands and help discover the remarkable diversity of frogs that call this unique habitat home.

This popular community citizen science event offers a chance to explore the wetlands at dusk, learn how to identify local frog species by their calls, and contribute valuable information to ongoing environmental monitoring. Whether you're a keen naturalist, a family looking for a fun outdoor activity, or simply curious about local wildlife, everyone is welcome.

Led by MCMC Coordinator of Citizen Science and Waterway Education, the evening will include a guided walk through the wetlands, opportunities to listen for and identify frogs, and insights into the important role wetlands play in supporting biodiversity.

Come along, connect with nature, and help us build a better understanding of the health of our local environment through citizen science. Families are most welcome.

Bookings essential HERE.

The event involves walking, at times in the rain, so please bring weather appropriate clothing for the event and sturdy walking shoes. (Frogs love rain so don’t be put off by a rainy evening, this event will still go ahead).

Meeting point: near the corner of View Street and Lucerne Crescent Alphington. Here's the Google maps pin. 

Please bring drinking water, hat, mobile phone, sturdy walking shoes, long sleeves and long pants, wet weather gear (if needed) - and gumboots are handy if raining, binoculars and torch if you have them (not compulsory). But don’t come if you are unwell. There are toilets located at Alphington Park oval.
