How Did the Newt Cross the Road? With Help From These Volunteers, Carefully | KQED

Every winter, California newts risk their lives crossing Bay Area roads to breed. Now, volunteers — and land planners — are stepping in to save them.

#ThrowbackThursday #TBT A year ago today, I came across this unlikely duo at our heat pump while closing the chicken coop for the night. It was the first (and only) time I've spotted a #newt here. I think it's probably a female northern crested newt?

You would wish that it wouldn't be necessary, but alas it seems it is. Thanks to @thewildlifetrusts for producing a report on the scale of impact of bats & newts on planning applications. Nature isn't the problem. https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/sites/default/files/2025-05/Planning%20on%20bats%20and%20newts%20-%20FullReport.pdf #nature #bats #newts #planning
Excellent signage at the towel hut at Lake Mohonk. There's a healthy population of eastern newts (Notophthalmus viridescens) at the beachfront and kids love to capture them in their buckets. #NewYork #NewPaltz #mohonk #lakes #art #salamanders #newts #nature

A newt stranded on the footpath alongside the Forth and Clyde Canal Glasgow that I can across on my run this morning. I moved it into the grass at the side, but at least two others I saw weren't so lucky. Not too sure if there's anything that can be done to prevent it, but it's quite a common occurence along this tow path.
