5 Reasons to Build a Backyard Frog Pond

Great Lakes Now recently sat down with Margot Fass of the non-profit group, A Frog House. Located in Pittsfield, New York on the banks of the Erie Canal and on the edge of the Lake Ontario sub-basin. A Frog House helps to encourage ecological education, local advocacy and collaboration around clean water and thriving wetlands. Not only do they help to restore essential habitats through tree planting, but by helping people build frog ponds.

Fass grew up in Vermont, where wetlands weren’t far from her house. According to Fass, being around nature as a kid “saved her life,” and is a huge motivator behind why she started A Frog House.
