New #infrastructure could help wildlife traverse a corridor that spans from #Ontario to the #ADKs

"It’s a clear day in the skies above southern Ontario.

"Jessica Lax peeks out of the window of a cherry-red turboprop plane. Below is a patchwork of greens and blues: the farms, forests, highways, and shoreline between Kingston and Brockville.

" 'I can see how sharp the lines are between the forest cover and the development,' Lax said. 'Seeing it from a broader perspective, you can see how stark it is.'

"Lax is the executive director of the #A2ACollaborative. It’s a binational group focused on protecting and improving a major #WildlifeCorridor that spans across southern Ontario and northern #NewYork.

"She’s taking photos and videos of an 85-kilometer (or 52-mile) stretch of Ontario’s Highway 401. In a section between #Mallorytown and #Gananoque, the lanes of traffic split, and a forested median fills the gap.

" 'It's another area where we have recommended a wildlife overpass,' she said over the airplane's headset. 'So I'm trying to get an image of how the forest cover connects.'

"#A2A has pinpointed two more locations along the 401 between Gananoque and #Brockville where they think overpasses and underpasses could help more animals survive crossing the busy highway, Lax said.

"That’s because this area is a critical wildlife pathway in northeastern #NorthAmerica."

I just discovered a brilliant #carfree hack for travelling by #transit to cottage country north of #kingstonon . Avis rent-a-car in Kingston will leave a car at the station and the keys at the front desk for you to pick up. No need to suffer the #401highway!
