Welcome to Froghaven Farm. Froghaven Farm, located in Bon Aqua, Tennessee, is run by Lisa Powers, Biologist/Herpetologist. While there is a real place called Froghaven Farm, Froghaven Farm is more a collection of the diverse ideas and talents of Lisa.

Contract biology, web design, photography, educational programs and educational material design are some of the services offered by Froghaven Farm.

Lisa is a seasoned speaker and has presented 100's of programs to professional groups, school groups, summer camps and private meetings.

Lisa will be speaking this year at the Spring Roan Mountain Naturalist Rally on May 4, 2013.

Photography

Naturally, Lisa's photography follows her innate interest in Nature. While reptiles and amphibians are perhaps her favorite subjects; insects, fish, birds, mammals, and wildflowers are surely not overlooked.

Fundraiser for Lisa

My current vehicle was damaged by my wheelchair and lift. I am now in need of a customized handicapped van to transport my wheelchair, which weighs over 350 pounds. Since my income is extremely limited, and I do not have the funds to purchase one of these expensive vehicles, I am now in need of your help. Please help me generate the funds needed to purchase an accessible van.

Please see my Fundraising Page here:
