Frogs are sometimes hard to see since they take on the colors of their environment. (Photos © 2009 Keweenaw Now)CALUMET -- . Ever wanted to know more about the Keweenaw's frogs, flowers or land trusts? Here's your chance: Keweenaw Land Trust's Spring Frog and Flower Walk at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 6.
Participants will meet at the property of the KLT Project Specialist Pat Toczydlowski to look for frogs and flowers in fields, woods and vernal ponds -- with frog surveyor Nancy Leonard and botanist Janet Marr. Toczydlowski will also be there, in her own back yard, to provide insight into how the Trust evaluates a property for conservation purposes from both the landowner’s and the land trust's perspective.
Frogs swimming in ponds do us a favor by snacking on mosquitoes and other pesky insects.Where: From U.S. 41 take the Boston Road (north of Hancock near a self-store facility -- a left turn if headed north), travel about 2.7 miles and turn left on Rhode Island Road, travel 2 miles to STOP sign, go straight and travel 0.5 miles, turn left on Johnson Road (Dead End).
