Deer, elk, and other animals
move around during different times of the year. In the fall, they travel to warmer places for winter. In the spring, they return to their summer feeding areas. As they travel, many animals must cross roads.
What Is a Wildlife Corridor?
A wildlife corridor is a safe path that helps animals cross roads and move between habitats.
The Oregon Department of Transportation builds wildlife corridors to:
- Help animals travel safely.
- Reduce crashes between vehicles and wildlife.
