The paper presents one of the possibilities of the involvement of school children in practical nature conservation. It deals with the conservation issue of migrating amphibians. Based on 30 years of experience in protection of the common toad (Bufo bufo) population nin the Železná studienka locality in Bratislava, it specifies how to involve pupils in particular activities. At the same time it emphasizes the positive impact of school children participation in these activities on their knowledge level and attitude to nature conservation and environment protection. In Slovakia and the Czech Republic the number of sites is recorded where an annual mortality of protected animals is observed. This contribution is a guide and inspiration for teachers to show that pupils can work alongside them tocontribute to changing this situation.
