Despite its name, the Green Frog can actually be more brown than green in color. They are found in any body of freshwater in New Jersey. Their voice sounds like a loose banjo string with each note becoming less and less loud. Young Green Frogs issue an alarm call when frightened, making a high-pitched peep as they jump into the water. Folks at URWA are happy to see healthy Green Frogs in the pond at Fairview Farm. In some parts of the watershed frogs are threatened by non-point source pollution caused by substances such as, lawn fertilizers, road salt and pharmaceuticals that get into the streams.
