Amphibians are very sensitive to habitat degradation and their survival is a good indicator of the soil and water quality of an area. PCRS plans to incorporate an amphibian study to document the species, numbers, and locations of amphibians in the Puget Creek Watershed, using amphibian drop traps. This project should be conducted in the springtime when amphibians start to emerge and travel. And of course, anything caught will be unharmed and released immediately.
