What is Toad Patrol
A volunteer-led project helping toads and other wildlife cross roads safely during spring migration.
Why Toad Patrol Exists
Common toads return to the same breeding ponds year after year. Five Gates Lane sits directly across this route, turning a natural migration into a high-risk crossing.
Road traffic, limited visibility and increased night-time movement during warmer, damp evenings all contribute to significant losses during migration season.
