About this episode

The episode explores the sounds of frog calls in Kentucky and discusses the invasive porcelain berry plant.

Spring and summer evenings in Kentucky come alive with the sounds of frogs calling from wetlands, ponds, and forest edges. These vocalizations aren't just background noise—they're an important way to identify species. Learn the different types of frog calls as Dr. Steven Price, with the University of Kentucky Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, shows us how to recognize these unique sounds and better understand the amphibians that live all around us. Also on tap: Dr. Ellen Crocker, with the University of Kentucky Department of Forestry and Natural Resources - Extension, brings us the next Pesky Plant installment — porcelain berry. Don't let its beauty fool you, this invasive vine known for its striking, multicolored berries, can quickly become a serious problem in Kentucky's woodlands and landscapes. 6.10.26 For more episodes of From the Woods Today, visit https://forestry.mgcafe.uky.edu/woods-today
