Endangered frogs to be released at Fort Lewis

Biologists from the Fish and Wildlife Department and Northwest Trek wildlife park plan to release about 500 frogs on Monday at Dailman Lake at Fort Lewis.

FORT LEWIS, Wash. —

Biologists from the Fish and Wildlife Department and Northwest Trek wildlife park plan to release about 500 frogs on Monday at Dailman Lake at Fort Lewis.

The Oregon spotted frog is an endangered species in Washington. These seven-month-old frogs were collected in the wild as eggs and given a head start at Northwest Trek.

The project is a joint effort with a number of agencies and organizations, including zoos in Seattle, Tacoma and Portland that are taking part in the Year of the Frog - the global effort to save the amphibians.
