The Hudson River Estuary Program and Cornell University will hold a 90 minute Case Studies in Reducing Amphibian Migration Mortality at Road Crossings webinar on February 1st from 5 to 6:30 pm.
This webinar will feature two stories of communities taking action to reduce mortality of amphibians on roads where there is high migration crossing activity each Spring.
Brett Amy Thelen from the Harris Center will discuss how data collected by volunteers led a small New Hampshire city to close a local road to vehicle traffic on amphibian migration nights, in partnership with a local conservation organization.
Chris Slesar from the Vermont Agency of Transportation will discuss the creation of an award-winning wildlife crossing culvert between two areas of critical amphibian habitat in Monkton, VT. Both Brett and Chris will share lessons learned and strategies for implementing similar conservation actions.
