    Please be sure that the people who filed the lawsuit on the Dogwood plan are aware of this frog. Is it mentioned in the TPH? It should be.

      Oh yes, they know. This sighting will be one of the reasons we hope the judge will grant a temporary restraining order against logging in the floodplain of the Gualala River.
