A GROUP of nature conservationists who help toads reach a lake in the New Forest during migration is starting up again – and looking for volunteers.

The Ringwood & Poulner Toad Patrol is looking for volunteers for the coming season to help toads cross Gorley Road to reach Blandford Lakes for breeding and to return home.

If you are interested and have a few evening hours available each week from January to April/May, contact rptoadpatrol1@gmail.com for more information.
