Help Britain’s rarest toad by joining conservation efforts at RSPB Hodbarrow, home of the only indigenous Natterjack population at an RSPB reserve.
We’re seeking volunteers to tackle key tasks in September, October, November and January, including clearing scrub from overgrown ponds to encourage Natterjacks to breed.
“This is an exciting opportunity to improve a hidden gem of Cumbria, reinvigorating its wildlife and creating a place both visitors and local people can enjoy,” said Site Manager Dave Blackledge. “We need help to conserve this landscape – trimming around paths, cleaning signs, counting birds, watching over the tern colony, maintaining hides and, of course, toad monitoring.”
Email hodbarrow@rspb.org.uk to sign up to the project.
