To build or not to build a road: How do we honor the landscape?

To build or not to build a road: How do we honor the landscape?

Engineers and ecologists are working together to help wildlife–from bears to rodents–cross a highway that runs through one of North America's largest wildlife corridors. How do you design a roadway for people and wildlife? What solutions are available, and how might different approaches reflect our perceptions of the landscape?

Explore the relationships among ecology, infrastructure, and creatures on the move as Professor Nina-Marie Lister addresses these critical questions. A tenured associate professor at Ryerson University, Lister specializes in ecology and environmental planning.
