Roads in Burlington and Richmond Hill will see closures this month to help Jefferson salamander migrate to their vernal pools.

The endangered amphibian spends winter in abandoned rodent burrows, rock crevices or other moist pockets below the frost line.

Environmentalists opposed to opening up protected Greenbelt lands for development have often cited the species most threatened by southern Ontario ’s urbanization.
