The Waterbury Conservation Commission will host a special presentation on wildlife crossings on Wednesday, March 18, at the Waterbury-Stowe Fish & Game Club. 

The featured speaker is wildlife biologist and forester Jesse Mohr, who operates a natural resource and forestry consulting firm, Native Geographic, in Fairlee. 

“As climate change reshapes ecosystems, wildlife must move – often farther and more

Frequently – to survive. Roads can become barriers, but wildlife crossings help reconnect habitats while improving safety for both animals and people,” the commission’s event announcement explains. 

Waterbury’s location is situated along prime wildlife corridors in the region. Mohr will explore conservation science and why Waterbury’s location makes it a critical link in Vermont’s connected landscape.

The public is invited. “If you care about wildlife habitats, resilient forests, and the future of our shared environment, we hope you’ll attend,” the commission says. 

This free event from 6:30 to 8 p.m. will be in-person only (no livestream). The Waterbury-Stowe Fish & Game Club is located at 5365 Waterbury-Stowe Road (Rt. 100) in Waterbury Center.
