Toad Detour Training (Virtual)
February 22 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Learn how to protect our toads!
Toad Detour protects the local toad population as they migrate to and from their breeding grounds each spring. When the toads emerge from brumation (the reptile version of hibernation) in the early spring, hundreds of them cross Port Royal, Hagy’s Mill and other nearby roads to mate in the Roxborough Reservoir or the Schuylkill Center’s ponds. Toad Detour season runs from March 1st to June 30th. On select nights, when the conditions are just right, Toad Detour volunteers erect barricades and help divert traffic during busy toad crossing evenings, saving hundreds of toads.
This family friendly Toad Detour volunteer training session will be held virtually, from 1-3pm on Saturday, February 22.
