Ivey Redmon Park, 908 Beeson Road, Kernersville MAP

NOTE: This may be turned into a virtual event depending on status of the coronavirus pandemic in Forsyth County during Creek Week. Check the Creek Week website before you leave for the event.

Henry Fansler with NC Sierra Club Foothills Club along with Town of Kernersville Public Services staff and one of our sponsors, Blue Stream Environmental will lead a walk through the wetlands to learn more about our local frogs and toads. We will meet at the soccer field parking lot. Look for the giant dragonfly sign.

This year we’ll offer a frog walk at 4 p.m. families with kids, and a 6 p.m. walk just for grown-ups.

The frog walks will begin with a brief presentation about the frogs and toads commonly found in the area, their important role as predator and prey, and as an indicator of water quality. We will learn to identify frogs and toads based on their calls and then see what frogs, and maybe some toads, make their homes in the park. A NC toad and frog call app is available at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.johneyboy.frogcalls&hl=en_US&gl=US.

Anyone participating in this activity should be prepared for wet and muddy conditions and dress for the weather. Participants under 18 must be with a parent or guardian.
