The public is invited to a free workshop Wednesday to learn about threats to Sierra frogs and what is being done to save them.
Sierra frog populations have declined by as much as 95 percent. In a workshop hosted by the Sierra Nevada Alliance, experts will discuss impacts to frogs from chytrid fungus, grazing, dams, introduced fish species and pesticides, as well as ways to better manage for future healthy Sierra frog populations.
Speakers will include Amy Lind, wildlife biologist/herpetologist with the U.S. Forest Service; Carlos Davidson, director and associate professor at San Francisco State University; Curtis Milliron, senior biologist for the California Department of Fish and Game; and David Bradford, research ecologist for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The workshop will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Lake Tahoe Community College in the Aspen Room.
