We’re trying something new to reduce deer and elk collisions where they happen most – Highway 3 between Cranbrook and the Alberta border. Two high-tech wildlife detection systems are installed at two locations: Site 1: approximately 1 km east of Elko and Site 2: approximately 2 km east of Sparwood - See more at: http://tranbc.ca/2016/02/10/new-way-to-protect-wildlife-on-highway-3/#sthash.lidedADd.dpuf Elko, Detection, Alberta, High Tech, Highway, Deer, Wildlife, Border, System

A key wildlife corridor connecting important animal habitats between the Purcell and Rocky Mountains is a step closer to reality thanks, in part, to the new Luxor Creek Bridge. The bridge replaces a culvert that was a barrier to fish spawning. Animal Habitats, Purcell, Luxor, Corridor, Infrastructure, Rocky Mountains, Barrier, Closer, Creek

Our wildlife detection system senses when large animals are on Hwy 3, near Elko and Sparwood. Here is the sign near Elko, in full action. The two deer (at left) have been detected, and the sign flashes to warn the approaching driver.

Moose stay active in winter. They (and elk), with their long legs, big hooves and powerful bodies, plow through snow more easily than deer. In winter, all three species seek out valley bottoms to shelter from the wind, and of course those areas can be natural places for highways to travel.

Because deer, elk, and moose can sometimes wander onto B.C.’s highways and have the potential to cause serious crashes, we are piloting two new high-tech wildlife detection systems on Highway 3 to help keep both motorists and wildlife safe. - See more at: http://tranbc.ca/2015/10/21/on-the-case-for-safety-wildlife-detection-systems-on-highway-3/#sthash.4TMywpaL.dpuf Elk, Wander, Moose, Potential

These kids leapt at the chance to use road survey kits, from the Young Naturalists’ Club (YNC) of BC, when they learned that efforts to observe and record amphibian travel could potentially lower the number of frogs, toads, salamanders and newts that are killed on B.C. highways. We supplied the Cowichan Weekend YNC and Cowichan Home Learners YNC with reflective safety vests and “toad crossing T-shirts”. Photo by Elke Wind. Salamanders, Safety Vest, Frogs, Learners, Vests
