According to the group, the common toad, recognisable by its warty skin and distinctive waddling walk, is thought to be declining in parts of the UK.
“Road traffic is a significant threat during breeding season, as toads move slowly and often cross roads at night while returning to ponds used for generations.”
Hallewell said the volunteers had a group chat to ensure they could notify each other of any toad movement.
“We all chat to each other and make sure we have cover to make sure those toads are safe,” she said.
“Knowing you are helping wildlife is just the best,” she added.
