• Abstract:
  This research study evaluates the effectiveness of the mitigation infrastructure through the use of motion activated cameras and analyses of WVC carcass and accident data. The study maintained a total of 62 motion-triggered cameras at 40 locations in Year 3 to record animal movements and responses to the mitigation. Cameras were placed at crossing structure entrances and in the nearby habitat, at wildlife guards, escape ramps, and the south fence end. This progress report focuses on post-construction monitoring from December 2015 through April 2018.
