Learn to Dive Today is supporting the conservation efforts of the civilian scientists of Toad Nuts, who work every August to protect endangered western leopard toads as they migrate – often across busy highways – to their breeding ponds across the South Peninsula area.
Learn to Dive Today has donated a Discover Scuba Diving experience as a prize in a raffle that is currently on the go to raise funds. The funds will be used to purchase GPS equipment to tag the toads that are rescued during the breeding season. We assisted the Toad Nuts this year, patrolling in Noordhoek and Sun Valley on rainy August evenings looking for toads trying to cross the roads. They are awesome creatures!
Raffle tickets are available for R10 from Chai-Yo in Mowbray and from Simply Asia in Lakeside, or direct from Suzy and Alison at Toad Nuts. Other prizes include:
40 minute scenic flight over the Cape Peninsula
2 night stay at Leopardstone Hill Country Cottages worth R1800
Business listing on Scenic South site worth R400
Rioja restaurant meal voucher
World of Birds tickets
Splattered Toad wine hampers
This is well worth supporting – you’ll be assisting with a very worthy conservation project (and the prizes are cool)!
