2023 marks the seventh year of the Find a Frog in February citizen science program that encourages the local community to send in their frog observations during the month of February. The program covers the Mary, Mooloola, Maroochy, Noosa and Burrum River catchments and adjacent coastal catchments in southern Queensland (see map). It is funded each year by the four local councils; Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Gympie and Fraser Coast that have foresight to support biodiversity investigations for better understanding and management. Participants and technical supporters provide in-kind contributions four times the funding provided. The program provides educational material and support to the broad community, schools, community groups and agencies to help improve knowledge of frogs; their location, population trends, habitat needs, and threats. Involvement fosters improved appreciation and protection of habitats for frogs and other lifeforms.
