  • Virtual Toad Detour Training Session

    Online/Virtual

    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 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. 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.

    Online/Virtual

    Join SBN for an interactive workshop with Elizabeth Killough, Co-CEO of the UnTours Foundation, on how impact-driven businesses can apply and work with foundations.

In the greater Philadelphia region, there is an extensive and growing network of Foundations that are able to lend to impact-driven businesses. During this workshop, we’ll explore how these foundations operate, why a business’s impact matters to
