🐸 Meet Our New Animal Ambassador! 🐸

While working in the basement of the Nature Center, our naturalists spotted what looked like a little dust ball… but as they reached for it, they realized it was a tiny tree frog who had somehow found its way inside and was completely covered in dust!

After a gentle cleaning, some warmth, and a few tasty crickets, this resilient little frog bounced back and made itself right at home. 💚

Now officially part of our Animal Ambassador team, this grey tree frog is ready to greet visitors, but there's just one thing missing… a name!

👉 We need your help! Drop your best name suggestions in the comments below and help us name our newest Nature Center friend!
