This Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species program (CFDA 15.608) provides $1,261,900 to MT. Adams Resource Stewards (MARS), a non-profit organization, to eradicate the American bullfrog from the Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge and a surrounding 2-mile buffer on private lands. The goal is to eliminate the invasive bullfrog's impacts on the federally threatened Oregon spotted frog population. The award will fund the final 3 years of this bullfrog eradication effort, which has already removed over 58,000 bullfrogs since 2021. As a result, the Oregon spotted frog population at the refuge has increased by over 900% in the past 3 years, re-establishing it as the largest population within the species' range. The ultimate goal is to reach the minimum viable population threshold of 2,900 Oregon spotted frog egg masses.
