Learn about invasive American bullfrog management strategies through a workshop presentation featuring three case studies from U.S. conservation areas. Explore management approaches at Arches National Park, where bullfrog control aims to restore Sleepy Hollow Pond within a river-connected pool system. Discover efforts at Kaibab National Forest to protect northern leopard frog populations across smaller wetland networks through bullfrog management. Examine the potential for both northern leopard frog conservation and Columbia spotted frog reintroduction through bullfrog control at Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge's isolated wetlands. Each manager provides detailed insights into their specific ecological contexts, challenges, and conservation goals related to large-scale bullfrog control initiatives.

Melissa Trammel NPS, Arches National Park: A series of pools connected to a larger river system where American bullfrog control would allow for restoration of Sleepy Hollow Pond.
Valerie Stein-Foster USFS, Kaibab National Forest: A network of smaller wetlands where American bullfrog control would support northern leopard frog populations.
Patrick Moffett USFWS, Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge: An isolated network of wetlands where American bullfrog control could benefit northern leopard frogs and support reintroduction of Columbia spotted frogs.
