Following our 2025 visit, the Amphibian Foundation left its longtime base at Buckhead’s Blue Heron Nature Preserve and has moved into two new homes: research and conservation programs are now based at Agnes Scott College, and the education programs are happening at Legacy Park in Decatur.

As you can imagine, the move was a big one, involving more than a thousand animals (including amphibians and reptiles) and their habitats. Co-founders Mark and Crystal Mandica say it costs more than $1,000 each day to keep the animals safe and healthy — and they’re hoping community support can help offset the costs of operation.
