| Comments: | I highly commend your toad moving efforts! I am a graduate student at Cornell University, where I’ve just organized our area’s first Salamander Squad. We are going to install an ACO drift fence system this summer using an old culvert put in by the highway department. Good luck and keep carrying those toads! Jackie |

| Comments: | thank you for all your info. These animals can really be a big help to our gardens. Especially getting rid of those slugs!! I’m just wondering how long they can stay and live in one area. |

| Comments: | I am very surprised to see how little information or apparent concern there is to amphibian decline in the U.K. Is this the case? I am a member of frogwatch Ontario which monitors amphibian populations in Canada. Does a similar organization exist there? Thank you for your local interest in protecting amphibians in the U.K. Sincerely, Steve |

| Comments: | I went to school at Madingley C of E School around 1950. I revisited it earlier this year. A few more houses, but largely what I remember – particularly around the lake in front of Madingley Hall. I remember going to a Christmas party at Madingley Hall hosted by Canon Raven.

| Comments: | needed info on toads as I have found some in my garden and want to identify them. Unfortunately one of a pair of toads has been killed .This site has provided me with info for further sites which could give me help in increasing the remaining toads survival. |

| Comments: | Hi! I just found a Toad in the middle of a council estate in Tooting and was trying to find the best course of action for it. Fear not, the Toad will find the best home possible!. However, I just wanted to say well done for all your efforts in looking after these wonderful creatures, I only wish I was rich and could donate a pile of cash…. |

| Comments: | Thank You! we were looking for info on the toads that live in our garden. it is nice to see concise information on your page, thanks. we live a block away from a water way, so why are our (the) toads mating in our garden? can we do anything to help them? just to let you know, we found a (one) toad in our backyard and i put it in the garden (about 2 weeks ago) now there are three! yippee, we like toads. our spinach was being eaten by slugs or bugs or whatever, and now it’s doing great. we ate our first "crop" at dinner tonight. thanks again, Andrew and Lanette |

| Comments: | Keep up the good work. I was looking for some information about toad spawn. We had some in our pond but the fish ate it. I wanted to know whether you can hatch it in a tank like frogspawn. How can you tell the difference between tadpoles and toadpoles (is that what they’re called?) |

| Comments: | This is Letchworth Naturalists Society. contact David Inward 9 Hawthorn Hill, Letchworth, Herts SG6 4HE. (01462 672934). We do toadlifting at several sites around Hitchin and Letchworth, Herts, and south Beds. We found you via BTCV. I found the site very interesting. We would particularly like to receive information on safety and whether toad lifting has any real effect on population numbers. |
