While driving to work yesterday morning, I was once again reminded of the importance of maintaining wildlife corridors. Four deer crossed from a nearby stream into the greenbelt that surrounds Dunham Lake. As fences have gone up around woodlands and nearby fields are developed into subdivisions, the deer and wildlife are struggling to find new corridors. I realize fences are used to keep humans out, but they force local wildlife to navigate busy roads and backyards to reach new areas to graze. It makes me so thankful to hear about the work of Ted Turner and other wealthy folks who are purchasing easements on vast tracts of land to create wildlife corridors across America. Kudos to them!
