Surveys....
I completed all of the surveys, also. I'm not particularly interested in removing non-native species in favor of protecting native species that might not make it anyhow.
But.... Recently, on either CPR or NPR, there was mention of the decline of native frogs being attributed to introduce tin of non-native Bull Frogs. Apparently, they carry some type of transmittable disease organism (virus???) that infects our native frogs. There wasn't any mention of what DF&W is doing about it, if anything. Seems like this instance would qualify as a valid removal project.
