Welcome to the Frog and Tadpole Study Group of NSW

The Frog and Tadpole Study Group of New South Wales (FATS) is a community group dedicated to community awareness and conservation of frogs.

The Frog and Tadpole Study Group of New South Wales (FATS) conducts various community and conservation activities to assist frogs. These include holding information stalls at community environment fairs, presenting workshops on how to make your backyard frog friendly, building frog ponds and school presentations about frogs. FATS also runs a Frog rescue program for stow-away frogs that are accidentally transported into the cities, as well as cane toad removal and awareness programs. FATS also has advisors on governmental panels and conducts frogging field trips to various parts of the state.

Notice to All FATS members from FATS President

The restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic means that FATS

cannot run public events at present.

This means that public meetings, community special events, and field trips are

cancelled for the foreseeable future.

Once the restrictions are removed or changed we will renotify you and let you

know what we are able to offer by way of activities.

At present, the June public meeting is cancelled.

We will advise you of future events when the time arises.

Please be patient with us and other organisations who are in the same boat.

The restrictions on field work are particularly frustrating because we need to

survey areas affected by the bushfires and droughts to check on the health

of the surviving frog communities. 

You can always check our website www.fats.org.au

to see if there have been any recent changes to plans.

FrogCall will continue to come out bi-monthly and this will

keep you up to date with frog happenings.

Keep safe and well, wash your hands regularly and observe safe personal distances

when outside.
