Each year, the great amphibian migration takes place at 10 sites in the Todmorden area between mid-March and mid-April.
Toads, frogs and newts tend to be most active on warmer nights, often when there is light rain. Rather than ‘crossing the road’, they are often walking up or down it, as the road is often the most direct route to get to their breeding ponds. Unfortunately, hundreds of toads and other amphibians are killed on the roads each year.
Common Toad
In Todmorden, there is a dedicated group aiming to reduce road casualties and organised toad patrols take place on most evenings during the migration. We’re asking people to be extra careful when driving at night – for the sake of both the toads and of the volunteers working hard to protect them.
If you do find toads on the road, and no volunteers are around, please take the time to move them to somewhere safe and dark, preferably close to their pond (if its location is known).
If you would like any further information and/or if you would like to be more involved, please contact our group:

Hello Everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying the weekend, West Yorkshire Animal Protection have some events between now and Christmas as follows:
Saturday 25th November 10-4pm
General Animal Rights stall at the Bradford Peace Fair – helpers are needed! If you can spare an hour or two please let me know – this is a fantastic event, with craft stalls, campaign stalls and amazing vegan food available.
Two stalls at Leeds Winterfest – on for our group and general animal rights, and one for Animal Free Research UK. Helpers are also needed – please let me know if you would like to attend
We recently handed out leaflets to students at Huddersfield University to promote the Vegan Month, and received a very good response. We are also planning to hand out leaflets at local universities to promote Veganuary before the end of term – details will be confirmed soon
Demos at Belle Vueto be arranged in December – details to follow
To mark World (Plant) Milk Day and Animal Aid’s Dairy Week of Action, we will be holding a stall in Hebden Bridge town centre. We will have information, leaflets, milk and food samples.
If you fancy helping out by handing out samples or chatting to members of the public, contact Kim at kkashworth@gmail.com. Whether you can spare thirty minutes or four hours, every little helps!
If you’re not yet vegan, why not come along to try the samples and pose us your burning questions about plant milk! There may be chocolate…
It’s almost that time of the year again when we bring in and celebrate the summer and harvest, both figuratively and literally. 3 Valley Vegans will be appearing on three stalls in September.
We are looking for volunteers to help with whatever aspect of running these that you are comfortable with, such as setting up, talking to people, or making some food. Even coming down for even an hour or so would be great!
Can you help? Please email Hilary on hils46@yahoo.co.uk if you would like to know more.
