Amphibians are tiny powerhouses for the ecosystem and the soundtrack to many of our spring nights, yet they're one of the most at-risk wildlife groups on the planet.
The NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife is celebrating these valuable, vulnerable, cool (blooded) friends with daily social media posts all week, so follow @newjerseyfishandwildlife on Instagram and on Facebook.
Connecting Habitat Across New Jersey (CHANJ) is making progress on their first amphibian tunnel project, at a landmark frog and salamander road-crossing location in Sussex County. This project tackles one of the leading threats to amphibians here and across the globe: habitat fragmentation. The project is currently in the design development stage and will hopefully break ground around Amphibian Week 2022.
