BANFF WILDLIFE CROSSINGS - May 30th

One of the things we are enjoying about Canada is what's not there. We don't see dead animals along the roads. Between the towns of Banff and Lake Louise are a number of these wildlife crossings. Apparently the first two were so successful (80% reduction in mortality) that more are being built. 


Here is a link to an old NBC News report on them. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/8409303/ns/us_news-environment/t/more-wildlife-getting-helped-across-highway/

Soon we will have them in the US, as Washington state is designing them for I-90.
