Ecosystems: The Green Tree Frog

Look who we spotted on one of our customers properties — a Green Tree Frog (Hyla cinerea) taking a cozy rest on a morning bloom!

These tiny amphibians play a big role in keeping local ecosystems healthy.

• Natural pest control: They help manage mosquito and insect populations.

• Environmental indicators: Because they’re sensitive to pollution and habitat changes, their presence is a sign of a healthy landscape.

• Food-web contributors: Frogs support biodiversity by serving as both predator and prey.

At Brophy-Heineke & Associates, we love seeing these little ambassadors on the properties we work with. Our environmental consulting services help preserve habitats by:

• Protecting wetlands and natural drainage areas

• Encouraging native vegetation and pollinator-friendly landscaping

• Minimizing unnecessary chemical use

• Supporting landowners with site assessments that prioritize ecological balance

Small creatures like this are vital — and together, we can help keep their homes safe.
