Each spring, toad patrol volunteers across the UK help common toads over roads, as the animals travel from their hibernation sites to their breeding ponds. All amphibians in the British Isles are in decline and this community work strives to limit that decline. You can find and join your nearest toad patrol via https://www.froglife.org/what-we-do/toads-on-roads/tormap/.
