CWHL is collaborating with DEC Region 3 to support plans to reintroduce Northern Cricket Frogs (Acris crepitans) at sites where the species was historically present, but is no longer found. We are working to monitor the presence of two amphibian pathogens, Ranavirus and the chytrid fungus, in animals and environmental samples at sites with remaining populations and candidate sites for reintroduction. This can be used to help inform the selection of source and reintroduction sites to give Northern Cricket Frogs the best possible chance of rebounding in New York.
