When Worlds Collide: Highways and Wildlife Crossings

As human development expands, animals need more assistance crossing busy roads.

About the Topic

A talented deployer of remote cameras, researcher Corrinne Dombrowski will explore with you how highways can disconnect wildlife—deer, elk, badgers, bobcats and more—from food sources and habitats. She’ll share her work with state agency partners to monitor wildlife crossing structures along the U.S. Highway 97 corridor, and how the results are helping prioritize crossing structures throughout the state.
