“The bioswale in front of the office is truly living up to its name. Within the first year of existence, I have documented 7 species of frogs (Green Frog, Bullfrog, American Toad, Green Treefrog, Upland Chorus Frog, Southern Cricket Frog and Southern Leopard Frog), 1 hatchling snapping turtle and 1 species of salamander (spotted). I took the attached photo last Friday night during the monsoon‐like rains. Although some of these species are only transients, some are breeding on‐site. It’s a good example of how these types of structures can work effectively as stormwater control and habitat.”
