Photo of the Month: Pacific Treefrog
This Pacific treefrog was observed at the Pierce County Landfill Wetland Mitigation site, which The Watershed Company is continuing to monitor. Pacific treefrogs prefer to breed in shallow, seasonal ponds that have low water level fluctuations. More than two dozen such ponds were created at the mitigation site with the intention of providing quality amphibian breeding habitat. The site has exceeded performance standards for amphibian habitat, providing quality habitat for a number of amphibian species, including Pacific treefrogs, red-legged frogs, Northwest salamanders and long-toed salamanders.
