FrogWatch USA Chapters are overseen by the Akron Zoo and are hosted and managed by zoos, aquariums, parks, and like-minded organizations.
At training sessions hosted by a local chapter, volunteers learn to identify local frog and toad species by their calls during the breeding season and how to report their findings accurately. By mastering these skills, volunteers gain increased experience and control over asking and answering scientific questions which, in turn, augments science literacy, facilitates conservation action and stewardship, and increases knowledge of amphibians.
FrogWatch activities run from February - August every year.
