The critically endangered Oregon spotted frog (OSF) is one step closer to recovery in the Fraser Valley.
Egg masses were discovered near Agassiz for the second year in a row.
“After more than a decade of trying to build a new population of this endangered frog, we are finally starting to see breeding,” said Aleesha Switzer, biologist with the Fraser Valley Conservancy.
A total of six egg masses were found in Maria Slough near Agassiz to the utter delight of the recovery team as the number of eggs indicate how a population is doing.
