Spring Peeper Named Connecticut's State Amphibian

Thanks to the advocacy from Mae Ambruso, a young constituent of mine from Bethlehem, the state legislature has officially designated the spring peeper frog as our official state amphibian, celebrating a beloved native species.

Public Act 26-67, An Act Designating the State as the Birthplace of the Boys and Girls Club Movement, the State Amphibian and State Rock, will also name the town of Enfield as the gateway to Connecticut and Housatonic marble as the state rock.
