Description

This week I am joined once again by Aaron Capouellez. Aaron is an amphibian  conservationist and naturalist with a special interest in native Pennsylvania species. His work over the past few months culminates in a media blitz beginning this week that is aimed at  visually documenting and telling the stories of  some of PA's more vulnerable amphibian species. In this episode we discuss Frog Week 2023, and all the work that Aaron has put into  tracking, studying, and filming native PA frogs.  We discuss his use of drones, trail cams, and how a single captive gray tree frog led Aaron to discover a previously unknown population of its wild counterparts many miles away!And as an added bonus, Aaron walks us the through a 280 gallon vivarium build he as been constructing to house a PA biome. To learn more about Frog Week 2023 and Aaron's work check out the following links: Frogs and Toads Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/frogsandtoads/?ref=share_group_link Woods and Forests Media YouTube https://youtube.com/@WoodsandForestsMedia PA Woods and Forests inc.
