Western toads at Fawn and Edith Lakes in Alice Lake Provincial Park will be migrating any day. Most of the tadpoles have well developed back legs and some have nearly completed metamorphosis. Hikers and bikers on the Four Lakes trail - please keep an eye out, especially near the lakeshores and on the section of trail between the lakes. Report any toadlet sightings to toads@squamishenvironment.ca or post a comment here.

Once the migration begins, please watch your step and walk bikes: since the toadlets are "no bigger than the size of a dime," they can be easily crushed by feet or wheels.

Tadpole and toadlet fans are also reminded to look, but don't touch, since the toads' sensitive skin can easily be damaged by soaps, salts, oils and sunscreen found on our hands. ... See MoreSee Less
