Herpetology Study at Cove Point: FrogWatch Daytime Hike

Wednesday, May 6th, 2026 at 9-11am
Cove Point Natural Heritage Trust invites you to join our Daytime FrogWatch Herpetology Study at Cove Point, a hike guided by Matt Neff (Curator, Calvert Marine Museum). This is an educational hike through local forests and wetlands to observe amphibians in their natural environment while learning about amphibian ecology. Join our search for rare, threatened and endangered species and learn about conservation challenges to protect them. We'll have a great time turning over logs, listening to frog calls, and observing amphibian life in vernal pools.

As of now, you can sign up only one person at a time using this form.

If you are bringing guests to the hike, please send them this form to complete. Minors will need to complete the form with a parent or guardian.
