Getting involved is simple and requires downloading the free FrogID app on your phone and getting outdoors to places near water to record frog calls.

Council's environmental management officer, Andrew Morrison said uploaded content will help experts identify frog species and gather information on frog population trends at a time when frog populations across the country are in decline.

"With the development of apps like FrogID and iNaturalist it's easy for anyone to become a citizen scientist and make a real difference to the understanding and management of our amazing environment," Mr Morrison said.

"This information is important as frogs can be a good indicator of environmental health and there are some very special local frogs in the Bega area that we would like to know more about, including the threatened Green and Golden Bell Frog and Watson's Tree Frog."

Mr Morrison said FrogID week had come at a perfect time because of the last few weeks of wet weather in the Bega Valley, which makes finding frogs easier.

"It's a great opportunity for people get out to their local dam, stream or swamp and get recording. I can hear six different types of frogs calling from the dam near my place and each has its own distinctive call," he said.

Chair of the Atlas of Life in the Coastal Wilderness, Libby Hepburn also agreed on the importance of documenting and recording different frog species to understand the frog population trends.

"It's easy enough now to record them. And we need to do that because frog frog populations have been dropping dramatically, partly because of a fungal disease that has been sweeping across the country, but also, because of lack of habitat, loss of habitat and things like that," she said.

People can record and upload their froggy discoveries, be it photos, videos or recordings to the free FrogID app or iNaturalist.
