You can help frogs

As native frogs are small, well-camouflaged and nocturnal, they are hard to find.

The public can assist the Department greatly by reporting any sightings of native frogs.

Record carefully the location, the type of habitat (stream edge, forest floor), the time and date you sighted them, and if possible take photographs.

Avoid touching the frogs, because you may damage their sensitive skin. If you do touch them, make sure your hands are wet.
