Watch For Toads In Cumberland!

The Village of Cumberland wants residents to know that the Western Toad migration is happening along the west shore of Allen Lake.

The transformation, the Village explains, happens over just a few weeks. As they grow from tadpoles to toadlets during the migration period, people are being asked to use voluntary detours to help ensure the survival of the population of toads.

Of note, Short and Curly Trail closed on Friday and will be reopened once the toads have moved on.

Future trail closures and other protection measures may also be implemented.

Village trail closures are led by United Riders of Cumberland who are leading the protection of the species with support from the Cumberland Community Forest Society.
