When you signed up for Frogwatch USA, did you send us a map of your site? Don't worry, there's still time. Send us a map today!

We've made it easy. Just follow these instructions to e-mail a link to your map to frogwatch@nwf.org or print out and mail a hard copy to:

Frogwatch USA
National Wildlife Federation
11100 Wildlife Center Drive
Reston, VA 20190

What do we do with the maps? By sending in your map, you let us add your site to maps like the one below, showing the location of all the registered Frogwatchers. We can see if there is an area of the country where more Frogwatchers need to be found. We can track where new sites have been added and see when sites have been abandoned. And we can gain a better understanding of exactly where your data is coming from.

What happens if you don't send a map? We want to be able to use everyone's data. However, if we don't know the latitude and longitude of your location, the data that you collect can't be shown on a map. Maps are a great way for us to better understand what is happening to frogs and toads across the country. But before we can do this, we need a map of your location - so send one in today!
