Wildlife needs to move across the landscape to find habitats for breeding, foraging, and raising young. Roads are barriers to wildlife movement. Come to the October CCP meeting to learn what state organizations are doing to facilitate safe passage of wildlife under roads in Chatham County. We will also hear about recent planning efforts to identify high priority wildlife crossing needs in the county.
