The San Francisco Natural History Series presents

Kermit in a Coal Mine - Tenacious tree frogs in our own "Wild City"  
by the bay

with Chris Giorni, founder and director of TREE FROG TREKS

Imagine the infamous discovery of "Michigan J Frog" from the old  
Warner Bros. Bugs Bunny cartoons of yesteryear signing his song loud  
and clear in the middle of the bustling city.  Right here in San  
Francisco we have croaking tree frogs, howling coyotes and calling  
hawks.  Although Global Amphibian Decline has taken its toll on a  
huge array of frogs world wide we are lucky to have an amazing  
population of pre-gold rush amphibian hold outs scattered in and  
around our own "Wild City".  In this local frog talk we will meet and  
greet Pacific Tree Frogs, a Bull Frog invader, a Western Toad  
gardener's best friend and learn how they have survived our sky  
scrapers and paving projects.  We will open up a discussion of how we  
can help combat Global Amphibian Decline and keep Kermit from  
becoming the proverbial canary in the coal mine.

August 23 - Gordon Frankie will be here to discuss what you can plant  
in your garden to support NATIVE bees, more important than ever now  
as honeybees disappear worldwide.  Yes, he will be here in August  
rather than in June due to a series of events beyond anyone's control!
