Bairnsdale Joey Scouts help build frog hotels and get educated on local species and conservation
Bairnsdale Joey Scouts partnered with East Gippsland Catchment Management to build frog hotels, educating about local species while fostering conservation awareness in an engaging activity for youth.
Bairnsdale Joey Scouts combined fun and conservation in an exciting activity to support local frog species. The East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority visited the Joey Scouts group to show them how to build a frog hotel. They built a frog hotel, played leapfrog, and learnt about the frogs of East Gippsland, including our endangered species, the Growling Grass Frog.
