Red-legged frog

The California red-legged frog is the largest native frog in the western United States.

Since 2009, NPS and Parks Conservancy staff have worked together to create a self-sustaining ecosystem at Muir Beach that would improve habitat for endangered coho salmon and threatened steelhead trout, establish breeding ponds for threatened California red-legged frogs, and decrease flooding on nearby roads.

Home to the mission blue butterfly, Milagra Ridge has been the focus of intensive Park Stewardship restoration and monitoring in San Mateo County.
