STEVENS POINT â?? One of natureâ??s great choruses will soon echo again across the verdant woods and wetlands. The spring peepers, wood frogs and their fellow amphibians will be at it again, carrying on one of natureâ??s most glorious and resonant love fests.
Across Wisconsin, volunteers will fan out to record the sounds on 120 routes, all of them part of the Wisconsin Frog and Toad Survey coordinated by the Department of Natural Resources. But for the first time since the surveyâ??s inception in 1981, the woman who initiated it and nudged it along for many years wonâ??t be among us.
