The spine of the Green Mountains is a chain of several huge forest blocks that is the backbone of the Vermont landscape. With relatively few road crossings, wildlife can move among these forests for great distances. This is important for keeping populations healthy and allowing them to adapt to climate change. Yet the Winooski River valley with Interstate 89, Route 2 and the railroad is a significant barrier separating the northern and central Green Mountains. Efforts are underway to ensure that habitat remains connected across these barriers. Join Conservation Planner Jens Hilke and VTrans Biologist Jesse Johnson to learn about the exciting wildlife connectivity projects emerging along the busiest stretch of road in Vermont. Oversized culverts, wildlife shelves, and a state-of-the-art highway underpass are all on the menu as conservation planners find creative solutions to reconnect the Green Mountains for wildlife between Mount Mansfield and Camel's Hump.
