2024 FrogCensus

FW has done it again – another amazing October FrogCensus! The record breaking 612 surveys were submitted- 20 more than in 2023, which had a 30% increase from the previous year. A mammoth effort by so many volunteers! The graph below clearly shows that  Covid-induced changes, like the online booking sheet and weekly updates for volunteers have made a huge  difference and increased the number of surveys by over 50% from pre-Covid levels. All data has been verified.Next steps are analysis and then report writing. The cycle of FrogCensus… made possible through ACT Government funding!
