Springtime Frog Walk

Friday April 11, 2025 | Corey Marsh Ecological Research Center - 9422 E. Herbison Road, Laingsburg, MI
Thursday April 24, 2025 | Bengel Wildlife Center - 6380 Drumheller Rd., Bath, MI 

Both events will take place from 8 - 9:30 p.m.

Join us for an evening filled with croaks, trills, and splashes from some of our favorite frog friends. Choose from two event dates and locations. Both frog walks will start with a brief introduction to frog calls followed by a hike to various frog habitats including vernal ponds and wetlands. The hike will include multiple stations spread over approximately 1 mile of uneven terrain. Participants will receive resources on frogs, including a book and fact sheets. 

Speakers will vary at each location but include: 

  • Alexa Warwick, Assistant Professor, MSU Department of Fisheries and Wildlife
  • Paige Filice, Natural Resources Educator, MSU Extension
  • Drew Monks, Director of Wildlife Programs, Bengel Wildlife Center
  • Angela Burrow, Assistant Professor, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife

Frogs like it wet, so come prepared with appropriate, closed-toed footwear (waterproof shoes or boots are ideal). They also like to sing at night, so headlamps and/or flashlights will be useful. While all ages are welcome, this program will require walking off-trail and on old footpaths. Please wear weather-appropriate clothing. Food will not be provided.

Cost: FREE
