Workshops for Beginning and Experienced Monitors

The training workshops for the 2025 recruitment season have concluded as of February 10th.

We are currently working to assign routes to monitors who completed this season’s training sessions. If you missed part of our training, or could not attend a workshop, you can watch a video of the training.

However, we will need you to watch the video and send us confirmation of interest in monitoring by February 20th in order to assign you to a route for the 2025 season.

Our virtual workshops are for both beginning & experienced monitors. We’ll teach and review the calls of our 13 frog and toad species, help monitors find survey sites, and discuss the monitoring protocol. Experienced monitors are encouraged to attend, in order to learn any protocol changes, obtain data sheets, review frog calls, and share lessons learned from last year.
You are only required to attend one virtual  monitor training workshop to learn the protocol and frog calls, but this year, we may hold an additional training session to review the new database and field questions from monitors.

Please note, we will not assign and confirm new routes unless monitors have first completed a training workshop. Available routes are assigned first come, first serve.
