The Chatham Conservation Partnership (CCP) will be meeting this Thursday, April 21, 2016, 9:00am am-12 noon, in Pittsboro to celebrate and learn more about frogs and their important habitats in Chatham County.

Jeff will provide information about the diversity of frogs in Chatham County, including information on their biology, natural history, life cycle, and the importance of frog habitats and way to help protect their habitats.

After the meeting, Jeff Beane and Jeff Hall, a biologist with the N.C.

Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes that you don’t mind getting mucky. Right now it looks as if it will be a warm day, so you may want to bring along a water bottle and snack.
