07 Aldergrove OSF Release




On 5 October 2007, five adult Oregon Spotted frogs were released back into the wild after being overwintered from 2006 because they had not metamorphosed. They were tested for disease and after proving having no disease, they were brought back to their original habitat in the wild in Aldergrove.
It was exciting to have released these adults, ncie and chubby as they were. We hope to see them again in the future, and hopefully they will breed and make more little Oregon Spotted frogs!
