Friday 13 Feb, Cane Toad Bust at Whites Hill Reserve

Join us for a Cane Toad Bust at Whites Hill Reserve with Science Educator, Gary King.

Friday 13th Feb at 6:30 PM

Every year, Cane Toads (Rhinella marina) wreak havoc on Australian native wildlife, poison thousands of pets and even impact local agriculture.

Cane Toads can live for more than 10 years, and females can produce up to 35,000 eggs each time she breeds. This means that every Cane Toad removed really does count!

This event is action packed, fun and can have a huge impact on Cane Toad numbers.

What to bring?

We have buckets, gloves, torches and toad grabbers; however you may also want to bring your own.

Join the fun and make a difference!

If you can’t come to this particular event, you can collect cane toads on your own property.

When cane toad busting on your own, make sure you know how to identify the Cane Toad (Rhinella marina). Some native frog species may be confused with juvenille and adult toads. Australia has many brown and lumpy native frogs.
