Toad closure: There are more than 200 patrols across the UK helping amphibians during the migration season
Road to close for six weeks to allow toads to cross
A road will close for six weeks to allow thousands of amphibians safe passage to their breeding grounds.
Charlcombe Lane, near Bath, will be shut until 25 March as the Charlcombe Toad Rescue Group helps toads, frogs, and newts reach their ancestral breeding lake.
Each night at dusk, volunteers in high-visibility jackets will patrol the half-mile stretch of road, equipped with torches and buckets. Their mission: to safely escort over 3,000 amphibians across the busy road. The volunteers will collectively dedicate over 600 hours to this crucial conservation effort.
