A Very BIG Thank-you 

To all of the volunteers who helped capture toads for us in fall 2015, and to those private land owners that gave us permission to access their property to track toads and/or to collect habitat data in 2015/16. This research would not be possible without the generous support that you have given.

A closer look at the hibernation site in late February reveals Benny's face.

If you haven't had the chance to view our previous posts, we invite you look back through our blog to see  many more toad photographs, read up on our research  from 2015/16, and watch a video on the Cowichan Valley toad hibernation project.  You are also invited to join us for a presentation on our project on Tuesday September 20th, 7 pm at the Sahtlam Fire Hall.

We hope that you will continue to support us in this upcoming last year of the project, starting in early Sept. 2016 and running through to the end of March 2017. This will be the last year of our study. If you find an adult toad between Sept.-Nov. please contact us (duncantoads@gmail.com).
