Sierra Wildlife Rescue offers a variety of classes for anyone interested in local wildlife, the environment, and the world of wildlife rehabilitation. These sessions help participants learn what rehabilitation involves and decide whether they’d like to pursue further training. SWR classes also explore our native species and how to peacefully coexist with wildlife in our community. We round out the series with special-interest topics taught by experienced rescuers and educators. Take one or take them all. They are free to members or $10 each for non-members. We look forward to seeing you there!

Endangered Amphibian Mgmt
Jeff
An overview of endangered species management on the Eldorado National Forest with emphasis on amphibian species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Topics to be covered will include general threats to the Forest’s amphibian species, how the Forest protects these species during project development and implementation, and specific actions taken on the Forest to manage amphibians and promote their recovery. The discussion will then go into detail on a few research and management projects specifically designed to develop a better understanding of or promote the recovery of Threatened and Endangered amphibians on the forest. Research and recovery projects to be discussed will include: fish removal from some high mountain lakes, species translocation, the Yosemite toad hybridization study, development of pond habitat for the California red-legged frog, and California red-legged frog telemetry tracking.
