Bullfrogs for Beers: Citizen Science & Bullfrog Eradication in Western Colorado

Join Denita Weeks as she shares her work being done in the community to address the threat of bullfrogs in our backyard. This community-led initiative to address the invasive American Bullfrog issue in western Colorado, particularly in McInnis Canyon National Conservation Area (MCNCA), is a commendable effort that integrates citizen science, education, and conservation.

Denita Weeks, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at Colorado Mesa University and active in amphibian conservation on the western slope. She earned her doctoral degree from The University of Memphis where she specialized in disease mitigation strategies for an amphibian fungal disease. Her current project with students and community members involves surveys on native amphibians and the threat presented to them by invasive species and disease.
