Trinity, age 13, has been an amphibian and wetland conservationist since 2016 when she became the Mayor of Amphibiville for the Detroit Zoo. Soon after, Trinity began her “Action for Amphibians” project, which takes a social, political, and hands-on approach toward amphibian and wetland conservation. Through her program, Trinity seeks to: 1) raise social awareness via social media and her "Amphibian Conservation Rocks" painted rocks campaign; 2) conduct field research, clean up local wetlands, educate and inspire her classmates, and collect valuable field-data as a citizen scientist for FrogWatch USA; and 3) raise political awareness for amphibian and wetland conservation statewide and nationally. This year, Trinity was able to expand her "Amphibian Conservation Rocks" campaign using funds from the Warner Brother's Scooby-Doo Doo Good Grant.
