A snake exclusion fence made of fine wire mesh will be erected along part of the property housing the new fire hall, and the landscaping will retain a naturalized, open-meadow look with some of the kinds of depressions in the ground that this snake loves. Cedar said firefighters deployed to No. 5 will be given special instructions, “so they know they’re surrounded by an endangered species and they keep their eyes open.”Cedar said Butler’s Gartersnake one of four endangered snake species that call Windsor home is too fragile and too connected to its home base to be safely trapped and relocated.As part of its approved Endangered Species Act permit, Windsor agreed to protect and enhance some of that home base in South Windsor but also to expand the type of natural habitat where the Butler’s Gartersnake thrives in other city-owned areas, including at the nearby Spring Garden ANSI.
Butler’s Gartersnake love tallgrass prairie meadows, of which less than one per cent remains in Ontario and of which Windsor hosts the largest remaining protected areas. Under the conditions of the ESA permit, Cedar said some city-owned property adjacent to areas already known to be home to the Butler’s Gartersnake will be restored and naturalized.The Ontario Endangered Species Act was enacted in 2007, and Fire Hall No. 5 is the first time Windsor staff has had to work with the province to obtain a permit to allow a development, said France Isabelle-Tunks, the city’s senior manager of development, projects and rights-of-way.“It was a long process various applications had to be made and conditions had to be met,” said Isabelle-Tunks.
It won’t be the last. Cedar said Windsor is home to over 100 species at risk, and urban expansion continues to pressure the city’s remaining natural space.“The city is working very hard not to develop areas where species are at risk,” said Cedar.
