In East Tennessee, we are surrounded by trees and that means we live in the middle of gray treefrog land. Join local naturalist Stephen Lyn Bales as we learn about a clutch of gelatinous frogspawn watching them change from egg to hop-away adult gray treefrogs (Hyla versicolor) at the UT Arboretum Society’s First Thursday Nature Supper Club via Zoom on Thursday, July 7, at 7 p.m. EDT.
You provide your own stay-at-home supper, and we provide the nature as Stephen Lyn will entertain and teach us about the lifecycle of the gray treefrog, carefully photographed at each stage by Stephen Lyn.
