The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education will hold its annual Toad Detour Training Program February 16 in Philadelphia.

Each spring, the Center gather volunteers to help shepherd thousands of toads safely across Port Royal Avenue in Philadelphia as they travel to and from their breeding grounds at the Upper Roxborough Reservoir Preserve.

If you'd like to help out with this year's "Toad Detour," then please join the Center for a volunteer orientation. Volunteers can help for an evening, bring a Girl or Boy Scout Troop, or become shift managers to help manage the many volunteers who help these toads.

You'll learn all about toads, toad-handling, and shift sign-ups.

Click Here for all the details and to RSVP.  The program will be held at the Center, 8480 Hagy’s Mill Road, Philadelphia from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
