  • I-90 Snoqualmie Pass East Pre-Construction Wildlife Monitoring
    • Implement and document a pre-construction wildlife monitoring program for the I-90 Snoqualmie Pass East construction project in Washington.
  • Bozeman Pass Wildlife Linkage and Highway Safety Pilot Study
    • The goals of this study are to address the question of whether or not fences and cattle guards are effective at a) reducing the number of animal-vehicle collisions, and b) re-directing animal movement patterns through existing highway ‘crossing’ structures (e.g., road and railroad bridges and culverts). The proposed study will continue to document the location of animal-vehicle collisions, locations of highway crossings by animals both over the highway and through existing ‘crossing’ structures, and locations of attempted crossings.
  • Highway 3 Transportation Corridor: Wildlife Management and Mitigation Assessment Project - UTC
    • Based on outcomes from the January 2008 AT THE CROSSROADS HIGHWAY 3 TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR workshop, this project will develop a series of short and long-term recommendations for mitigating wildlife movement across the Highway 3 transportation corridor, specific to individual species, local environment, and topography. This information will be provided to the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Alberta Transportation for implementation.
  • Animal Detection System Project - UTC
    • The objective of this project is to investigate the reliability of a microwave radio signal break-the-beam animal detection system at the TRANSCEND facility in Lewistown, Montana.
  • Developing a Regional Ecosystem Framework for Terrestrial and Aquatic Resources along the I-70 Corridor, Colorado
    • The objective of this project is to assist the Center for Native Ecosystems (CNE) with developing a wildlife mortality and habitat connectivity monitoring and evaluation program, and developing a mitigation plan for the I-70 Corridor in Colorado from Evergreen to Glenwood Springs in portions of the Clear creek, Blue River and Gore Creek Watersheds.
