25 Methods and Results Tracking Roadkill Surveys Cameras Passage Assessment
26 Tracking: Design Help and Advice from -MassDOT -Wildlife Biologists -UMASS Landscape Ecology Lab Strong Experimental Design -topographic feasibility -landowner permission -both sides of road -and 100m perpendiculars
27 Tracking: Trackers
28 Tracking: How When: Between hours after snowfall (>2in) Where: Over 30 miles of transects in w.mass Targets: Mammal species
29 Roadkill Surveys
30 Trail Cams: Great tool for public outreach Enhanced tracking
31 Tracking Results: Route 23
32 Species List- Route 23 Route 23 species list and activity levels, based on 6 tracking surveys Common name Latin name Average intercepts/km Relative frequency (%) bobcat Lynx rufus cottontail Sylvilagus floridanus 5 3% 1% coyote Canis latrans deer Odocoileus virginianus % % fisher Martes pennanti % gray fox Urocyon cinereoargenteus mink Neovision vision % 9.5 opossum Didelphis virginiana % red fox Vulpes vulpes 6.3 1% 14.6 turkey Meleagris g. silvestris 1 4% 19% weasel Mustela erminea or Mustela frenata canid canid coyote deer fisher red fox gray fox porcupine weasel mink bobcat cottontail turkey opossum

65 What we did Used best available science to define corridors between large habitats in western MA Tracked mammals along 3 roads, finding mixed answers to the question Can animals get from forest core habitat to forest core habitat? Tracking our tracking results helped to calibrate models like CAPS and Critical Linkages. Models and tracking agreed: Route 7 in the S. Berkshires is largely impermeable, route 23 is patchy with some good and bad spots, route 112 is permeable throughout Models + tracking + cameras + passage assessment combined suggest that we need additional land protection, road infrastructure work, and landowner stewardship/engagement in these areas.
66 This study was an incredible tool for engaging landowners, esp. but not solely cameras Evidence: Essay Land donation; timber harvest change. Volunteers self-organized to re-survey transects once next year Parcel-level maps of wildlife Request for additional presentations
67 Next steps Define N/S corridor MassDOT/PVPC/BRPC Landowners YOU (here)
68 Next steps Connect with YOU Define the most critical corridor through the center of the Berkshire Wildlife Linkage what is our must keep pathway between the Green Mts. And Hudson R. valley? Meet again with MassDOT to identify upcoming road projects that could further enhance wildlife connectivity, discuss road right-ofway management, and identify the next culvert projects Meet regional planning agencies to ask for their continued help in looking at both conservation and development projects within the north-south corridor more closely Maintain landowner interest and support landowners who want to restore vegetation or otherwise manage their roadsides for wildlife
69 If you remember just one takehome: Whether talking about otters or our drinking water, both need large protected areas connected by areas that they can pass through. What is around the road is as important as the road itself.
