Sydney Olympic Park Authority has forged a new partnership with the Frog and Tadpole Study Group of NSW (FATS) that will encourage the conservation, appreciation and understanding of frogs at Sydney Olympic Park.
A key role for the group will be to assist in the monitoring of the Green and Golden Bell Frog and other protected frog species located within the Park.
Chief Executive Officer for Sydney Olympic Park Authority, Brian Newman says the new frog and tadpole study group forms part of an ongoing commitment for Sydney Olympic Park to continually protect and enhance the natural and cultural heritage of the precinct, including the parklands.
“This commitment focuses in particular on the conservation of species and natural resources, managing site impacts, and ensuring the protection and promotion of existing and future environmental features of the Park,” Mr Newman said.
The frog and tadpole study group’s first joint initiative will be held later this month, as part of the celebrations for Frog Week.
The event will see the Frogmobile, an educational mobile trailer, appear at the Boulevard Markets on Sunday 23 October, where children can touch, and see live frogs, and speak to experts about frog related facts.
The frog fun will continue at the Park on 6 November, with a range of indoor and outdoor amphibious activities.
The Visitor Information Centre, Sydney Olympic Park will provide families with an opportunity to learn about the frogs that inhabit the parklands, and what the community can do to help frogs in their area. A highlight of the day will be a talk, at 2pm, by Arthur White, a frog expert, who will display frog species that can be found in the Sydney area.
FATS meetings will now be held at Sydney Olympic Park on a regular basis and provide an excellent opportunity for people of all ages to learn more about frogs and get involved in frog related activities, such as field trips, workshops and frog rescue.
