So far this season, you have collectively helped over 1,000 toads and frogs cross the road safely.
The weather is cooling down the next few days so no expected movements from our amphibian friends.

Toads may be crossing on Saturday and Sunday 🐸

Moving into Phase 2: Be alert as toads could be moving in either direction - to or from the reservoir. Observe the toads' movements first before transporting them!

Although there is no rain tonight, the temperature will be warm enough for the toads. They will move on warm and dry nights. We're expecting some movement tonight, more tomorrow, and lots more on Thursday (especially if it rains 🌧).

We had our first detour of the season last week! Over 200 amphibians crossed the road - there were green frogs, a bullfrog and of course, american toads.

Toads are predicted for Saturday, 4/1 & Tuesday, 4/4 but the weather has been getting colder throughout the week. Continue to monitor the temperature and the predictor in case the forecast changes!

🐸 We're hoping for toads tomorrow night, Thursday, March 23rd even though the Toad Predictor isn't expecting any. The weather conditions are favorable. Prepare your rain gear and flashlight. Review info on our website to come prepared: https://mailchi.mp/schuylkillcenter/toad-detour

It's another cold week... We are not anticipating any toads crossing.

Here's a question for those who have joined Toad Detour before - Other than American Toads, what other creatures have you seen?

It's another cold week here in Philadelphia. There will be no toads crossing.
