City is looking for amphibious helpers.

Thousands of frogs and toads will soon be making their way from their wintering spots in the forest to the spawning waters. For countless animals, this journey ends in death because they are run over while crossing roads.
That’s why we’ve been coming to Feldkirch for many years amphibious guidance systems at the Levner Weiher and at the hub street used in toasters. A new addition is to be added this year Guidance system at the Tostner Burgweg (St. Corneli). However, these guidance systems only work thanks to the active commitment of dedicated volunteers who collect the animals and carry them across the street.
So that as many animals as possible can be saved from death this year, people are still being sought who can imagine helping out at one of the three migration points during the amphibian migration.
