Frogs are the "canaries in the mine" for the purity of water...if you could repopulate our wetlands with frogs

Question

which species would you choose for the Rocky Mountain regions.

and/or which species would you choose for Florida.

Florida has some law that requires builders to provide "x amount" of wetlands for every acre they destroy...which has made all of these ponds with scum and cattails and no frogs.........

Colorado also has eaten it's wetlands...but unlike Florida these frogs must be able to winter over.

I would appreciate any advice....I want to raise tadpoles and release them to the ponds...the right species for each state.

THANKS!!!

Well, your heart is in the right place and your goal is admirable so go for it. I have included a number of web sites that might assist you in your endeavor. Remember though that balance is everything so if you introduce something that does not have a natural predator, you will be over run in short order.
