In Germany I saw other ways of helping toads and frogs across. Both are starting with a 20 cm high netting next to the road (both sides) which prevents them getting across. Has to be the full length though! Then either a small tunnel is dug or a set of buckets dug in. The animals move alongside the netting until they either find a tunnel or drop in a bucket. The buckets are emptied on the other side of the road. Easier than one by one by individual persons.
Bravo, Nick! What a wonderfully hopeful and encouraging account. Just when I am about to despair on humankind's future, buffeted as we are by so many simultaneous, seemingly-intractable crises, you show up with Hope for the Future, putting the "kind" back into humankind--at least for today! Many thanks!
It's the little things that all add up. Thank you for sharing this. It brings tears of joy to my eyes.
I felt the same way. If we can generate compassion for frogs, we can generate compassion for each other!
Yes, that would be nice. Hoping that you can become governor in spite of all the roadblocks. I greatly admire you.

Steps toward a grenouille greenway!
Thank you for such a wonderful upbeat reminder about staying in touch with Nature.
Such a terrific initiative! 🐸
