Community Wildlife Monitoring Program

In 1985, the Bay of Quinte was declared a pollution hot-spot. Among the problems was a dramatic loss of fish and wildlife populations and their habitats.

The Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan and its partners carry out actions to rehabilitate the Bay. Wildlife monitoring is part of the process, as wetland birds and frogs are good indicators of environmental health. By participating in this program you are helping in the rehabilitation and long-term protection of the Bay’s overall ecosystem.

The program offers the Marsh Monitoring Program that includes bird and amphibian monitoring.  Volunteers can monitor in either or both species. Another program is called FrogWatch Ontario. This is a good entry level program, great for families due to its simplicity. You will receive training and support through the Community Wildlife Monitoring Program.
