The common toad is in decline in the UK.

Every year, they return to their ancestral ponds to spawn, but they need our help to cross the roads.

The season is usually mid-February and March, but it depends on the weather.

Volunteers work in pairs and typically do an evening about once a week, wearing Hi Viz.

We particularly need help at Carleton Forehoe (the bridge), Wramplingham Road and Youngmans Road.

If you would like to help your local toads, Georgette would love to hear from you. Just email wymondham@toadwatch.org, or visit the Toadwatch website for more information.
