The National Wildlife Federation puts out 4 wondeful magazines, National Wildlife for the adults, Ranger Rick for kids 7 and up, Your Big Back Yard for 3-7 and Wild Animal Baby for the younger ones. As my kids are teen and pre-teen agers, we receive Ranger Rick and National Wildlife.
In Ranger Rick, on the inside of the front cover is a terrific picture of a Red-eyed Treefrog in the rain along with a cute poem. then in their section promoting Green Hour are several tips for kids to do in the great outdoors. One of these tips is catching frogs. Some good advice on how to catch them, as well as keeping them and you safe in the process.
In National Wildlife, there is a great article about Brian Kubicki and his life's dedication at conserving amphibians in Costa Rica. He is the founder and runs the Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center (CRARC). He has even named his daughter after a favorite frog! Thanks to Brian for his amazing work and for helping amphibians. A Wendell's Frog Blog flippered salute!
