This talk will introduce you to the wondrous world of Growling Grass Frogs – a spectacular species for which the outer suburbs of Melbourne represent a national stronghold.
Dr Geoff Heard will describe the places across Melbourne where you can see this species, the types of habitats they require to survive in urban areas, and the threats they face in a rapidly changing world.
Heard will also discuss what you can do for this endangered species in your local area, from recording its growl-like call to help scientists with monitoring, to how you can create the right mix of environments in which Growling Grass Frogs thrive at home or in your school.
