SUMMARY:Working in Oregon Spotted Frog Habitat
DESCRIPTION:Register now for our Working in the Oregon Spotted Frog Habitat Training! This virtual session will enable environmental professionals and municipal staff to identify suitable\, year-round\, Oregon Spotted Frog habitat. Information relating to specific permitting requirements during in-stream works within critical habitat and appropriate salvaging methods will also be provided. This is an important professional development opportunity to ensure due diligence and accuracy in identifying suitable habitats to avoid potential permitting delays. \nEnvironmental professionals or government staff – if you will be working in the Fraser Valley sloughs\, ditches or wetlands\, please consider this limited-time opportunity. This training will be provided by Olga Grunlund and Jon Blais (from the Fraser Valley Conservancy) and Briar Hunter (from the BC Ministry of Water\, Land and Resource Stewardship)\, all specialists in Oregon Spotted Frogs and members of the recovery team.  Once registered\, you will receive a confirmation email. A meeting link will be sent out closer to the event. \nEvent details:\nDate: December 11\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 pm – 13:00 pm PDT (with an additional\, optional\, 30-minutes for questions afterwards) \nPlatform: Online via Zoom \nCost: $25 per person \nRegistration closes once all spots are filled or at 12:00 pm on December 10th. \nFor questions\, please contact Olga: olga@fraservalleyconservancy.ca \nAdditional Information\nThis session is intended for environmental professionals and municipal staff who may come in contact with Oregon Spotted Frog and its habitat. The Oregon Spotted Frog is highly Endangered (provincially and federally). Within Canada\, it is only known to occur in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. It lives in water year-round and is found in a variety of agricultural ditches\, sloughs\, shallow wetlands\, and marshes. In the past decade\, two new populations of Oregon Spotted Frog have been discovered in Abbotsford and Chilliwack\, suggesting there are more potential areas where this endangered frog may be undiscovered. Oregon Spotted Frogs are most likely to be encountered during municipal drainage maintenance works and other similar in-stream works; however\, few environmental professionals are trained in the identification of this cryptic species or the habitat it utilizes. \n\n\nThis training is made possible thanks to funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada.
