SUMMARY:Christmas Trees for Frogs Tree Drop Off 2023
DESCRIPTION:Help us create frog breeding habitat!\nCome drop off your natural Christmas tree for us to submerge in an pond where amphibians breed. Frogs will use the branches on these trees to attach their eggs. They will also use them to hide from predators. The Christmas trees installed in last year’s pond were popular with the frogs. We found lots of egg masses on them in the spring! \n\nThis  year’s Christmas Trees for Frogs pond is in West Abbotsford. Donations will be accepted at time of drop off to help support our work.\nSign up using the button below and we will let you know where and when to drop off your tree.\nMake sure your tree is untreated and cleaned of all ornaments.\n\nThe frogs will thank you! \n  \nIf you register as a volunteer we will let you know when we are going to install the Christmas Trees and you can come help us out!
