Spring is migration season for the little guys
In many areas, frogs and toads start moving as nights warm up—crossing roads, exploring yards, and looking for safe water sources. It’s a great time to teach kids (and ourselves) how to be good neighbors to wildlife.
5 simple, kind ways to help
- Drive slow on rainy nights—especially near ponds and creeks.
- Skip pesticides where possible; amphibians absorb chemicals easily.
- Keep outdoor lights low to reduce disorientation.
- Offer a “safe corner”: leaf litter, logs, or a small shaded area.
- Keep pets supervised—curious dogs can stress or injure amphibians.
If your dog is obsessed with chasing critters…
That’s normal. The goal is to redirect, not punish. Give your dog a better job: sniff games, tug, or a chew while you’re outside.
