Summary
The Duinweg will be closed in the evenings during the toad migration with barriers that must be reopened at 7:00 am in the period from 15 February to the end of March.Detailed description
Every spring, toads and other amphibians such as frogs and salamanders emerge from hibernation to slowly find their way to pools. During their journey to the water, they often have to cross busy roads. The Duinweg is closed every year during the toad migration after sunset so that the amphibians can cross independently, without the danger of car or bicycle tires.
We are looking for volunteers to help open the barriers at 7am.
About De Dierenbescherming
One of the most important goals of the Dutch Society for the Protection of Animals is to prevent animal suffering, so that we have to save fewer animals in the long term. Our 'Preventive animal aid' department therefore focuses – as the name suggests – on preventive tasks and services.
We are not only there for animals, but also for people. At a social level, with assistance programs for pet owners who encounter problems in caring for their animals. And if aid and service providers are confronted with disturbed animal welfare, they can contact our Helpdesk Helpers. We also support the elderly and chronically ill in caring for pets with our Animal Buddy Project. In this way animals and humans can stay together.
Another example of our preventive activities is the annual toad migration campaign. Our volunteers help toads that migrate to the water after hibernation safely across the road.
