Toad season is officially underway!
We`ve been surveying Allen Lake over the past 10 days and have identified three separate Western Toad migration clusters this year.
Cluster 1 is the biggest wave and on the northwest side of Allen Lake and is moving north between Curly and Sunset Strip. This group is already about 50 metres onto land.
Cluster 2 is two-thirds of the way along the south shore of Allen Lake, near the road where Teapot exits. This group is about 10 meters onto land and looks to be heading directly south.
Cluster 3 is at the southeast end of Allen Lake. While it has just reached land, the migration appears likely to follow the creek corridor between Vanilla Bottom and Lower Blue Collar, similar to the 2024 migration.
So there you have it, not one, not two, but three migration routes this year. Oh my!
As the migration progresses, temporary trail closures may be required to protect the toads. We`ll keep everyone informed through updated sandwich boards at key trailheads, allowing you to plan your ride or hike around any affected areas. Please respect trail signage.
As in previous years, we`ll install toad fencing on high-use trails to help keep those trails open while safely guiding the toads on their journey into the forest. Volunteers from the Cumberland Community Forest Society will at busy times also be stationed at the Sutton Road Yellow Gate to provide information on the migration.
Please keep an eye out for trail signage indicating whether it`s `good to go` or `not to flow` in migration areas.
Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation. By respecting trail closures and following signage, you`re helping protect one of Cumberland`s most remarkable annual wildlife events while allowing everyone to continue enjoying the trail network safely.
