The Iowa Frog and Toad Call Survey is a volunteer-based survey that provides interested Iowa residents a unique opportunity to explore Iowa’s nature at night and use only their ears to detect wildlife.
The time commitment for conducting the survey and submitting data is roughly 10 hours total between April and July each year and will require being out after dark for roughly 2 hours during each survey period.
If you are interested in getting involved, volunteers must register for one training workshop. The workshops are most appropriate for adults and teens.
