MarshWatch is a program focused on wetland birds and amphibians (mostly frogs) for beginners and other keen naturalists. The program combines short virtual webinars with self-guided activities to slowly build your identification skills without getting overwhelmed. The ultimate goal o fthe program is to give you the confidence to submit a checklist from a visit to a wetland of your choosing.

MarshWatch consists of a series of interactive training webinars. Each webinar is recorded and made available online, so you’ll always be able to review the material or catch up later. Fun challenges and quizzes help to reinforce the material, and discussion about sightings follow most webinars. We encourage you to visit a wetland each week - there really is no better way to learn than to be out with the birds!

MarshWatch is intended to help share the wonder of wetlands and increase enjoyment of these biodiversity hot spots. It acts as a stepping stone for the Marsh Monitoring Program by teaching the necessary identification skills without the pressure of a formal survey.

We hope you join us!
