A Vulnerable Toad Gets Help from Summerhill

BC wine lovers can now enjoy their favourite beverage from Summerhill Pyramid Winery while helping preserve the endangered Spadefooted Toad.

Summerhill has released three wines named after the unique Okanagan animal, inspired by master organic wine grower Ron Firman.

Firman is a dedicated friend of nature, creating breeding habitat on his farm for the vulnerable namesake Spadefoot Toads.

The label illustration is by Canadian artist Robert Bateman, who drew the amphibian especially for this series. Ten per cent of the proceeds of every sale supports the Bateman Foundation’s work to nurture the next generation of conservationists.
