Every year at Ryder Lake, tiny little juvenile Western Toads (toadlets) migrate by the thousands from their breeding pond where they spend their lives as tadpoles, to their forest habitat where they spend their lives as adults. In the middle of this migration is a road.
We’re trying to raise awareness about this toadlet migration so that more people will choose the optional detour route, allowing the tiny toads to cross the road safely.
To make it fun, we turned it into a betting pool. If you think you know what date the toadlets will start migrating across the road, you could win $100!
.
How It Works:
We’ve been tracking the toadlet migration for 10 years, so we know they’re more likely to start crossing the road on some dates than others. Based on the data we collect each year, we know they will start crossing the road some time between June 11th and August 10th 2018. You can place your bet for this year’s migration start date on any of the days in between!
.
Take a look at our betting calendar below to choose the date you want to bet on.
In order to place a bet, you have to buy a toad ticket. Each toad ticket costs $2.00. One ticket = one bet.
The winner takes home $100.00!
*The Toads on the Road betting pool closes when the toadlets start crossing the road. Winners will be notified by phone or email on August 10th, 2018.
