  1. Deer are already using a #WildlifeBridge over a crash-prone highway in #California

    The crossing will not be complete until fall, but animals have already been spotted using the structure, including three deer and a bobcat.

    "A new wildlife crossing in Northern California is already doing the job it was built to do, even before construction is officially finished.

    "Three deer became the first animals to use the nearly completed wildlife bridge on U.S. 97 in #SiskiyouCounty since the project began in summer 2024, according to information Caltrans District 2 shared with AccuWeather. Since the deer have been spotted in late May, other animals have been seen using the crossing, including a bobcat.

    "Caltrans called it 'a major milestone,' adding in a Facebook post that, 'while the contractor is still completing final touches, it’s incredible to see wildlife already embracing the new structure.'

    "The bridge itself is about 100 feet long and 140 feet wide, with roughly 2 miles of 8-foot-high wildlife exclusion fencing along both sides of the highway to help funnel animals toward the crossing instead of the road.

    " 'The project area has the highest recorded wildlife-vehicle conflict rate in District 2, with over 50 deer and 16 elk fatalities recorded between 2015 and 2020,' Caltrans said. 'The new structure will allow safe passage for wildlife across the highway, improving driver safety and ecological resilience.'

    "Construction on the Siskiyou County projects is expected to wrap up this fall.

    "About a mile down the same highway, a #WildlifeTunnel is also under construction. The reinforced concrete culvert will expand crossing opportunities and strengthen the larger effort to reduce crashes."

  8. #WhitefishMT - #ConservationEasement enhances #WildlifeCorridor near Whitefish

    Jan. 13, 2026 — "A newly created conservation easement along the #StillwaterRiver west of Whitefish is expected to help secure a critical wildlife corridor.

    "Doug and Carolyn Kohrs worked with #FlatheadLandTrust to establish the 110-acre conservation easement earlier this month. The acreage, which augments a 655-acre conservation easement that the couple established in 2022, connects with the 1,560-acre #KuhnsWildlifeManagementArea and vast swaths of state and federally managed forestlands.

    " 'Carolyn and I are excited to add this additional piece of wildlife-critical land to our existing easement,' said Doug Kohrs of the easement. 'Secure and safe wildlife corridors are important for all the different animal species who live in the valley, especially as the inevitable development creeps closer to their natural habitat.'

    "The Kohrs have personally documented 95 bird species on the property, along with vital #wildlife species like #GrizzlyBears, #BlackBears, #MountainLions, #wolves, #bobcats, #elk and #deer. The easement also includes a stretch of the Stillwater River that provides habitat for #BullTrout and #WestslopeCutthroatTrout.

    "The land was slated for an eight-home #subdivision before the Kohrs acquired it in 2005.

    "The terms of the conservation easement prohibit division of the property and regulate construction to specific areas. The land can still be used for #agriculture.

    "The easement is perpetual, meaning any future landowners would be required to abide by the same requirements.

    " 'Just as this land serves as a vital anchor for a critical wildlife corridor, the Kohrs themselves have become a cornerstone of conservation in the #FlatheadValley,' reads a Jan. 6 press release from Flathead Land Trust. "Their dedication has created the essential framework for a landscape that remains open, connected and productive, ensuring that the region's natural character endures for generations."
