The Amphibian Migrations and Road Crossings (AM&RC) Project enlists volunteers to find locations where migrations crossroads; document weather and traffic conditions; record migrating amphibians; and help them across the road. Since the project started in 2009, more than 1,000 volunteers have counted at least 66,000 amphibians and observed 20 species. They assisted more than 40,000 amphibians across roads during migrations and counted nearly 19,000 migrating amphibians killed by passing vehicles.

Volunteer observations are building our understanding of where mole salamanders and wood frogs are especially vulnerable during their annual migrations and where their habitats are located. This information can be used for community planning and for groups of volunteers interested in starting "crossing guard" programs for the amphibian breeding season.
