Frog-friendly gardens

Frogs are fascinating and often secretive animals – we hear them more than we see them!

Australia is home to more than 221 species of frogs, but unfortunately their populations have undergone serious declines in recent decades. A third of species are now listed as threatened worldwide.

Please help by creating frog-friendly habitat in your garden.
