Festivals, Fairs, Picnics & More!
In presentations led by energetic and knowledgeable naturalists, we encourage children and adults to see themselves as part of a larger system of natural life in which every organism, from mosquito to shark and flower to mushroom, plays an important part.

Our naturalists will introduce children and adults to a variety of our creeping, crawling and slithering co-workers, from tiny Pacific Tree Frogs to 14-foot-long Burmese Pythons. We'll discuss how they've adapted to their natural habitats and examine what role they play in the ecosystem.

Our presentation can be tailored to meet your event's theme and audience. Other topics and curriculum are available.

We will also be having a silent auction featuring gifts from some of our favorite local companies including Freewheel, de Young Museum, SAVE THE FROGS!, Foreign Cinema, and the San Francisco Zoo. (Click here to see a full list of items.)

Last year we awarded over 70 children with scholarships. For many it was the first time that they had ever seen as animal up close, went on a nature hike, explored Golden Gate Park, or even ventured to the ocean. We would love for every kid in San Francisco to hold a frog and/or touch an animal. If you are interested in helping Tree Frog Treks, please visit our "Ways to Help" page.
