Toad Education
One of Stop the Toad’s aims is to increase community awareness
of the cane toad problem in Australia. Since 2005, Stop the Toad
staff and volunteers have carried out hundreds of educational talks
to schools, Rotary groups and caravan parks across Australia. Our
presentations aim to give an introduction of The Foundation, how
we fight the cane toad battle in northern Australia and what your
group can do to help.
One of our most dedicated volunteers and newest board member, Gary
Pike, has taken on the role of chief educator and spends a lot of
his time spreading the word for The Foundation. Gary is more than
happy to come and visit your organisation, but you will probably
have to book well in advance as he is often booked up for months
at a time! A small tax deductible donation to Stop the Toad is always
appreciated for Gary’s time and energy. To contact Gary, email
[email protected]
or phone 041 1709 305.
