helping amphibians to survive

Common Toad

What we do

Frogs, Toads and Newts are all threatened by loss of habitat and by diseases introduced from abroad.  Toads are more particular than frogs about where they breed and spend the winter further away from their breeding sites. 

Many toads are killed when they cross roads to get back to their breeding pond in spring.   Toadwatch volunteers help the toads to cross the roads safely - without this help many toad populations would become extinct.
