FROG WATCH PROGRAM
The Calvert Marine Museum hosts the Southern Maryland (and surrounding DMV) FrogWatch chapter. FrogWatch is a citizen science program that tracks frog populations throughout the United States. Participants will choose a monitoring site that is easily accessible and close to where they live or work to listen to frogs that are calling throughout the breeding season (Feb. 1 to Aug. 31). The purpose of the program is to track populations of frogs and see if they are more abundant than originally thought or if they are disappearing from some areas. There are also potentially three species of Maryland State Endangered Species that occur in this region as well, making data collection even more important. To date, the Southern Maryland (and surrounding DMV) chapter has recorded over 4000 observations of 14 different species of frogs and toads. Last year we recorded 1,100 observations alone!
FrogWatch is a citizen science program that tracks frog populations throughout the United States. Participants will choose a monitoring site that is easily accessible and close to where they live or work to listen to frogs that are calling throughout the warmer months. There are four indoor trainings to help orient people with the frogs that are in Southern Maryland/DMV area and their calls. Content is the same, so chose one training that fits your schedule. You can either attend in person or through TEAMS; a video link will be provided in a reminder email a week before the training. For more information, please contact:

2025 BUDGET
The Calendar Year 2025 Budget was approved by the Association membership at the August 24, 2024 Fall Meeting. This is a balanced budget with no dues increase for 2025. The 2025 Budget may be viewed here.
The Association’s dues include the annual road maintenance fee included in the covenants to every deed. Any property owner who declines to pay dues must still pay the road maintenance fee by June 1, 2025. Since this contractual fee is adjusted annually, as determined by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the amount of the 2025 road maintenance fee will be announced next spring when CPI figures for 2024 become available. An invoice will be sent to all property owners in late April 2025.
