Mark your calendars! FSM is partnering with the Bangor Public Library to host the second in a series of conservation related presentations.
Maine is the most forested state in the US and holds a surprising second superlative: having more roads per person than any other state. This leads to unexpected interactions between Maine’s wildlife and our roadways. Roadways can attract snakes and turtles, deter predators and secretive birds, and serve as highways for vultures, moose, and other species to move between habitats. This talk will discuss the complex nature of road ecology, spanning a variety of species, habitats, and locations in Maine – from our wilderness areas to our downtowns.
Dr. Greg LeClair is the Municipal Planning Biologist in the Beginning with Habitat Program housed within MDIFW. Greg works with towns to help them achieve their conservation goals, including subjects related to habitat connectivity and roadways.
