Wildlife Crossings in Dummerston
and the Mammals that Use Them
Kim Royar – Wildlife Biologist for Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department
WHEN: Tuesday Dec. 3 Time: 7 PM
MEETING PLACE: Downstairs in the Dummerston Church, at the corner of Middle and East-West Roads
FREE. CHILDREN ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND.
Kim will present a program about Wildlife Corridors and how to identify them. A wildlife corridor is the critical link of wildlife habitat, which joins two or more larger areas of similar wildlife habitat. By providing landscape connections, it enables migration, colonization and interbreeding of plants and animals. Corridors can function as a sequence of stepping stones across the landscape.
Following Kim's presentation, we will use large maps of Dummerston to learn how to identify places where animals most often cross the road, including information provided by participants.
Kim will be bringing animal pelts and bones so that we can become even more familiar with the animals that inhabit our town.
