     The Bullfrog Project is the product of years of research by Dr. Purnima Govindarajulu at the University of Victoria. It is a partnership between the School of Environmental Studies at the University of Victoria and the Centre for Coastal Health Nanaimo. Funding for this project was provided in part by the Invasive Alien Species Partnership Program, a Government of Canada initiative. The Project is focused on public outreach, site monitoring and steward training to prevent Bullfrog range expansion. The Project is also researching methods to mitigate the impact of existing Bullfrog populations by restoring habitats to enable the co-existence of native frog populations.
     From May to August, Bullfrog Project coordinators will be traveling throughout the Vancouver Island area giving presentations to raise public awareness and conducting workshops to train wetland stewards. If you know of a group that would be interested in a presentation, please contact us at bcfrogwatch@victoria1.gov.bc.ca.
