Hello ECOLOGers -- I work for a land trust and conservation education in southwest New Hampshire, and we have gotten the go-ahead to place wildlife crossing signs on certain sections of road that bisect a large corridor of our conserved land. We're hoping to conduct baseline road mortality studies on these roads in the summer and fall, to supplement our anecdotal observations of wildlife crossings and roadkill at these sites and to inform sign placement. In the meantime, we're looking for guidance on effective sign design (wording, imagery, size, shape, etc.) I've done a fair bit of reading on crossing structures, but haven't yet comes across much on signage. Can anyone point me to studies or "best practices" documents related to wildlife crossing signs? Best, Brett Amy Thelen Program Director, Ashuelot Valley Environmental Observatory Harris Center for Conservation Education 83 King's Highway Hancock, NH 03449 [email protected]
