Toad's Day Out

BTC recently hosted the Toad's Day Out in the Charters Towers community. After a demonstration on how to catch and store cane toads humanely ,the students set off in search of them. Prizes were awarded for the most toads caught and the biggest toad caught. This day was organised in many local communities to help reduce the number of cane toads and their detrimental effect on native animals and waterways.The toads were humanely euthanised with gas. This project was organised and run by the BTC Interact group.
