Membership is open to all concerned about the health and future of the Great Swamp with its critical wildlife resources, flood control, recreation and its role as a purifier of water. Members are encouraged to participate in FrOGS activities such as:

  • the Great Swamp Cleanup Day
  • the annual Great Swamp Art Exhibit
  • ongoing research of water and wildlife
  • canoe trips
  • other scientific and educational projects

FrOGS is a "hands on" organization with important and critical tasks to accomplish and little time, as the Great Swamp is under heavy pressure from development.

Members receive all newsletters and special alerts on upcoming events. A membership in FrOGS puts you on the front line of conservation right in your home area. The immense values, functions and threatened creatures of the Great Swamp need your help. Time is short.

Can you Volunteer to Help?

FrOGS needs extra hands for many events.
