Land Trusts and Wildlife Crossing Structures

Land trusts play a critical role in increasing wildlife crossings for highways, and many land trusts are already working on transportation-related projects, says the Center for Large Landscape Conservation. The organization recently published a toolkit that compiles lessons learned and best practices of land trusts engaged in wildlife crossing projects. The toolkit is useful for land trusts already engaged in this work, as well as for those less familiar with connectivity efforts. Users will find many diverse examples of these projects. In addition to examples and insights, the toolkit shares funding resources and public-private partnership opportunities.
