Knockholt Toad Patrols – 2018

Posted on February 20, 2018 by Webmaster

Toads will shortly be migrating back to the ponds from which they hatched and emerged last year. From dusk, our patrols (wearing Hi-Viz jackets and using torches), will be attempting to save many of these animals as they cross our dangerous roads. Many are killed when crossing Rushmore Hill, Main Road, and Shelleys Lane, but please inform us of any other locations.

We specially request that motorists slow down from around dusk onwards for the next month to six weeks.

Kent Reptile and Amphibian Group.
P.S. We always welcome new patrol members!
