New Wildlife Overpass Planned for Trans-Canada Highway (TCH)

Posted on February 5th, 2018

Rocky Mountain Outlook website displays article on wildlife crossings.

WTI Research Scientist Tony Clevenger was interviewed by the Rocky Mountain Outlook last week about a new wildlife overpass near Canmore, Alberta and Banff National Park.  In “Plans for new TCH overpass in the works,” Clevenger discusses the role of wildlife overpasses in reconnecting grizzly bear populations, which is critical for the long-term viability of the species.  The article also highlights Clevenger’s work with colleague Adam Ford to study the wildlife crossing structures in Banff for 17 years, research which revealed grizzly bear travel patterns and the types of crossing structures which are most effective.  The full article is available on the Rocky Mountain Outlook website.
