Every Cane Toad Counts! \n? https://watergum.org/greatcanetoadbust/ \nGetting involved is easy: \n\n✅ Get ready for the bust! You can join in the Great Cane Toad Bust on your own\, or by teaming up with friends\, family\, and neighbors!

Count your catch afterwards and submit your data to join the Bust.\n✅ Humanely euthanise your toads. Check out our humane euthanasia guide and responsibly dispose of all Cane Toads. In some areas\, Drop Off Points accept live toads and will euthanise for you – check our website for more details!\n\nIn previous years\, we removed over 50\,000 Cane Toads – let’s beat that this year! \nIt’s a fun activity for the whole family while doing something beneficial for the environment. \nFor more information: \nhttps://watergum.org/greatcanetoadbust/ \nJoin our Facebook event page: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1710765726159446
