About

Get out in nature and help our native wildlife by collecting as many toads as possible to help us conduct research in the size of the population.

Come along to a Watergum Community cane toad busting night!

We have partnered with the City of Gold Coast to bring cane toad control to the Gold Coast this season.

Cane Toads in the Gold Coast cause declines in our native wildlife, poison domestic pets and have negative impacts on our local agricultural industries.

We are working together to humanely and effectively control this pest species and create safe havens for biodiversity!

Toad busting is a fun event, appropriate for the whole family! Come along to:

  • meet some like-minded individuals
  • learn some new toad busting skills
  • make a difference for our environment

This Bust is extra special because we’ll be continuing our new research project ToadTrack on the Gold Coast. This research project will assess whether consistent Toad Busting efforts can impact Cane Toad populations over time and will run for 3 years.

How the event will run

Watergum staff will welcome you with a brief educational talk, followed by an introduction to our new research project and how YOU can get involved!

We will then split into groups and work together to clear the park of as many cane toads as we can!

Please wear closed in shoes and appropriate clothing for the outdoors at night. If you have a toad busting kit, please bring it along on the night! If not, Watergum will have some gear available to use.
