Summary
Help with the transfer of toads, frogs and salamanders during the toad migration.Detailed description
Every spring, toads and other amphibians such as frogs and salamanders come out of hibernation to slowly find their way to pools where they were born and where they will now reproduce. During their journey to the water, they often have to cross busy roads. We are looking for volunteers who are ready to help animals cross the road after sunset until around 22:30.
We count all animals (including dead animals). Due to traffic and deployment until later in the evening, children cannot participate. Only deployment from 16 years.

About De Dierenbescherming
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.
