Conservation Instructor

FLCC Muller Field Station
6455 County Road 36, Honeoye
Amphibians play a vital role in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, but they are threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and disease. Currently, more than 40% of amphibians are threatened with extinction – greater than birds and mammals combined. In this talk, you’ll learn about the amphibians of the Finger Lakes region, what makes them vulnerable, and local monitoring and conservation efforts. The talk will be followed by a walk to the Muller Field Station wetlands for a “calling amphibian survey”.
