How to Help Toads in Your Garden

If you have a garden you can help toads in the following ways:

• Install a wildlife pond with a minimum depth of 2ft  and with sloping sides so that breeding toads can get in and out easily.
•  Create wood and stone piles near ponds to offer toads refuge.
•  Avoid keeping tadpoles in small containers which can kill them – watch them in the pond instead, where they will be much safer and you can enjoy their development.
• Never move toads from one area to another – this can spread disease and the new site may not be ready for the toads – if you provide the right habitats for them, they will come when they are ready!
