  • ✔ Conservation-Driven

    Designed to restore habitat for native frogs where people live.

A Tiny Habitat With a Big Ecological Purpose

Small space. Real ecological impact.

Native frogs are disappearing as natural habitat is replaced by pavement, walls, and artificial landscapes. Many backyards no longer provide the basics frogs need to survive.

Froggy Forts are designed to restore those essentials - right where people live.

Each Froggy Fort supports frogs by providing:

  • Shelter from heat, predators, and dehydration
  • Water access designed for amphibian safety
  • Food opportunities by attracting insects naturally
  • Microhabitat stability in an increasingly unstable climate

This is not a decoration or a pet product.

It’s a functional habitat designed to help native frogs persist in human-dominated environments.

Backyards become healthier.
Ecosystems begin to recover.
One tiny habitat at a time.

Why Frogs Matter

Designed Around the Needs of Frogs

More than a frog house - more than a frog feeder.



Every feature serves a purpose - supporting native frogs while enabling observation, learning, and shared conservation.

  • Daytime Hideout

    Moist, shaded hideaways give frogs safe resting spaces during the day. Window-view versions even let you peek inside.

  • Insect-Attracting Lights

    Built-in lights draw insects to the habitat, allowing frogs to hunt naturally with no need for purchased food.

  • Designed for Water

    Multi-level water design provides moisture, cooling, and shallow-to-deep areas that mimic natural conditions.

  • The Froggy Forts App

    Smart Model Forts connect to an app where families and citizen scientists can observe, learn, and participate in global frog monitoring.

  • Night Viewing Lights

    Integrated LEDs illuminate frog activity after dark, perfect for evening wildlife observation.

  • Integrated Cameras

    Smart Model Forts provide live-streaming cameras that let you observe frog behavior from anywhere and share sightings with the community.

Part of a Larger Restoration Effort

Froggy Forts is part of SymSyn, a conservation technology company building tools to restore ecosystems at multiple scales.

While Froggy Forts focus on backyard habitat for native frogs, SymSyn’s work also includes larger restoration systems designed for conservation organizations, researchers, and degraded landscapes.

Together, these efforts connect small, local actions with broader ecosystem recovery - helping make conservation visible, measurable, and participatory.

This Is Just the Beginning

A growing habitat system for restoring nature where we live.

Froggy Forts is only the start of a much larger conservation vision.

Froggy Forts were designed as a starting point - a way for people to participate directly in restoring habitat where they live.

As the community grows, so does the opportunity to support frogs and other native species through expanded designs, shared learning, and deeper collaboration with conservation partners.

What begins in backyards can scale outward, helping reconnect fragmented habitats and restore balance over time.

A growing habitat system.
A growing community.
A growing movement to restore nature where people live.

Why Frogs Need Help

Frogs are among the most threatened animals on the planet. As cities expand and landscapes are reshaped, the shallow water, shelter, and insect life frogs depend on are disappearing.

Because frogs breathe through their skin and live between land and water, they are especially sensitive to pollution, drought, and climate extremes. When frog populations decline, it often signals deeper problems in the surrounding ecosystem.

In many neighborhoods, frogs haven’t vanished because people don’t care - they’ve vanished because the habitat they need no longer exists.

Restoring even small pockets of suitable habitat can make a meaningful difference.
