Frogs & Turtles of Mt. Tam

Come learn about the native foothill yellow-legged frogs, Rana boylii, and western pond turtles, Actinemys marmorata, that call the Mt Tamalpais watershed home. March through June is the best time to see these creatures and to learn about wildlife biology and conservation.

Educating the public about the threats to the native species, observing visitor use and interaction of recreationists, collecting population data and removing introduced predators are ways in which the Marin Municipal Water District protects the populations. With the help of volunteer community scientists, humans and animals alike benefit from our conservation efforts.
