They produce tetrodotoxin, a powerful toxin that protects them from nearly all predators. It is one of the strongest natural toxins found in North America. When ingested, it can kill a human being or animal. Just another reason you should always wear gloves while gardening. 392 </p> 393 394 <p> 395 We care about rough-skinned newts because they are indicator species. When wetlands are filled, forests fragmented, or water quality declines, newts disappear quickly. When they return, it is a sign that habitat restoration is working. 396 </p> 397 398 <p> 399 By restoring native plants, protecting wetlands, leaving natural ground cover, and keeping waterways clean, Habitat for Nature helps create the quiet, connected environments these newts need to survive.

490The Douglas squirrel is a keystone species of Pacific Northwest forests.</p> 491 <p>By caching cones from fir, hemlock, spruce, and pine, these squirrels disperse thousands of seeds, many of which grow into new trees.</p> 492 <p>They eat underground truffles that form vital partnerships with conifer roots. As the Douglas squirrels move through the forest, they spread fungal spores that support trees by improving nutrient uptake and strengthening soils.</p> 493 <p>Douglas squirrels are an important prey species for owls and hawks.</p> 494 <p>Their alarm calls help warn other wildlife of danger. They are loud and can mimic other animals and sounds. This ability to communicate and produce a variety of sounds is just one indication of how intelligent these tiny little squirrels are.</p> 495 <p>While common regionally, they are locally uncommon and fragile on many Pacific Northwest islands due to habitat loss and forest fragmentation.</p> 496 <p>At Habitat For Nature, we protect and restore native forest structure so Douglas squirrels and the ecosystems they support can thrive from the ground up.</p> 497 </div> 498 </div> 499 500 <!-- Image column --> 501 <div class="grid grid-cols-2 gap-4"> 502 <img src="images/douglas-card-feeding.webp" alt="Douglas squirrel eating seeds on a platform" class="rounded-2xl w-full h-48 sm:h-56 object-cover border border-slate-700" loading="lazy"> 503 <img src="images/douglas-card-post.webp" alt="Douglas squirrel portrait" class="rounded-2xl w-full h-48 sm:h-56 object-cover border border-slate-700" loading="lazy"> 504 <img src="/images/douglas-eating-nut.jpg" class="rounded-xl w-full object-cover" /> 505 </div> 506 </div> 507 </div> 508</section> 509 510<section id="squirrel-and-jar" class="py-16 md:py-24 bg-slate-900 text-slate-50 border-y border-neutral-800"> 511 <div class="max-w-6xl mx-auto px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8"> 512<div class="grid gap-12 lg:grid-cols-2 items-center"> 513 <!-- Text column --> 514<div> 515<h2 class="text-4xl sm:text-5xl font-extrabold tracking-tight text-emerald-300"> 516 Douglas Squirrel and the Jar 517 </h2> 518 <p class="mt-2 text-lg italic">A story from the field</p> 519 520<p class="mt-6 text-sm md:text-base text-slate-100"> 521 A young Douglas squirrel found several jars of nuts at one of our storage sites. What a treasure! How could he possibly get to these delicious nuts? The jar was glass, so he couldnât chew through it, and the lid was a rigid plastic he couldnât bite through without hitting the glass. Instead of giving up, he studied it, then twisted the lid by positioning himself using every part of his tiny body for maximum leverage. He had to work his way three times around the jar, gripping the lid, tooth and nail. 522 </p> 523 <p class="mt-3 text-sm md:text-base text-slate-100"> 524 Finally! <em>It opened!</em> 525 </p> 526 <p class="mt-3 text-sm md:text-base text-slate-100"> 527 This was problem solving in real time. To be noted; these were seriously tightened jars meant to keep midnight thieves out. 528 </p> 529 <p class="mt-3 text-sm md:text-base text-slate-100"> 530 A couple of days later, much to our surprise, we discovered he filled a 48-inch shipping tube to the brim with various nuts for his winter reserve. Jays noticed it too and began stealing from it. This sly thievery did not get past the little squirrel. 531 </p> 532 <p class="mt-3 text-sm md:text-base text-slate-100"> 533 On our next visit, the tubeâs entrance was sealed tight with a charcoal briquette that had been over twenty feet away! Somehow, he moved this briquette nearly half his size, inch by inch, over fencing and obstacles, to protect what was his. 534 </p> 535 <p class="mt-4 text-sm md:text-base text-slate-100"> 536 When native species are given a chance, they reveal just how remarkable they are.
