Freedom Park Frogs LbNA #38792

Frogs first appeared on earth nearly 180 million years ago. Today there are about 3800 different species, found all over the world. These colorful creatures, extremely sensitive to their environment, are an important early warning sign of the health of our planet.
We have hidden a series of letterboxes with frogs in mind. Also there is a small ‘treasure’ for the young letterboxers to find in each box (please only take one item per child - so others might benefit too).


This series of 3 boxes are located in Freedom Park
