2008 YEAR OF THE FROG: A KANSAS PERSPECTIVE
Presented by Curtis Schmidt, Associate Curator of Herpetology

Across the globe, amphibians are disappearing at an alarming rate. Thus, to better understand this conservation crisis and raise public awareness, concerned scientists have designated 2008 as the "Year of the Frog." You are invited to join Curtis Schmidt in the Engel Education Center on Friday, May 2 (from 7-9 pm) as he details the causes of amphibian declines and discusses the value of amphibians as bio-indicators. Curtis also will introduce the frog and toad species that call Kansas home.

The program is free of charge...donations appreciated!
