Leopard frog reintroduction earns award
The CSKT Wildlife Management Program has recently been awarded the Unsung Hero Award by the Northwest Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation in recognition of the Tribe’s efforts to restore populations of northern leopard frogs on the Flathead Indian Reservation.
This work began in 2003 with partners (including Blackfeet Reservation, Fort Belknap Reservation, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and the Wildlife Conservation Society) collecting and translocating egg masses. They’ve continued to monitor overwinter survival, the presence of adult frogs, and the first naturally produced egg masses on the Flathead Reservation.
