Help a Toad Across the Road

(Wed 03 February 2010)
With the advent of spring, animals will begin to awake from hibernation and to think of pleasant pastimes. Like mating, for instance. In the case of toads, this poses a problem. They need to reach certain specific ponds and pools to pursue their love life, and they have traditional routes for getting there. Unfortunately, modern life has interposed obstacles like roads – but, apparently,  you can’t explain to a toad that it would be a good idea to go somewhere else. So the Toad Migration Group of The Hague is asking for volunteers to spend at least one evening a week for six weeks  supervising toad crossing. Anyone interested can apply to www.haagse-dierenbescherming.nl or call 070-392 42 89.
