To the Editor:
I want to urge the people who run the Bethel Festival to eliminate any attempt to have a Frog Jumping contest in the future. I understand they didn’t have enough frogs available this year and that is because they are winking out. We need to save them, not race them.
There is a wonderful organization called Save the Frogs, directed by Dr. Kerry Kriger that helps to do this. They educate people about the loss of many species of frogs, and also teach how to create, restore, and protect critical wetland habitats. Go to savethefrogs.com and learn more, and thank you.
