Frog Finders

You don’t need to know which species you have seen to submit your sighting.

Take a clear picture if you can.

You can also use our frog and salamander picture identification guides to help you figure out what you saw.

You can also identify them by the sounds they make at night. The only frogs you can easily hear are Treefrogs, Bullfrogs, and Green Frogs.

If you have already looked through the photos and listened to the sound bites and are still unsure submit your Frog Finders Form and we will help you.

Don’t worry about frogs, toads, or salamanders you find out and about. These critters can migrate over land, and many live their entire lives without ever stepping foot in a pond. Ensatina and Western Redback salamanders are born on land.

If you find an amphibian in your backyard, do not attempt to relocate it. They will find where they need to go. If you are concerned they may get injured (for example, they are underfoot during yard work), you can gently place them under some nearby shrubs or other plants with clean, dry hands or nitrile gloves. You can help them out by providing log piles and cool, damp spaces for them to hide.

NEVER move or release frogs, toads, salamanders, or their tadpoles from one area to another! Do not bring them from your property to another pond or park. This could spread diseases, invasive species, and seriously injure other amphibian populations. 

If these critters happen to live on your property, we can give you advice on how to keep them happy and healthy. Visit our Nature Stewards program page for more information.

We operate within the Fraser Valley, from Langley to Hope.

If you would like to report sightings outside of the Fraser Valley, feel free to check out BC Frogwatch.
