Local people helping local wildlife cross roads safely during spring migration
Every spring, toads migrate to breeding ponds and often need to cross roads to get there. On Five Gates Lane, traffic can make this journey especially dangerous.
With simple, careful help from volunteers, many toads and other wildlife can cross safely. Small local actions can make a real difference.
