In partnership with the University of Colorado at Denver, SREP
launched a new and unique continuing education program to be offered for the first time in the Spring of 2007.
Course Description Habitat fragmentation is a serious threat to wildlife. Highways, roads, and backcountry routes fragment wildlife habitat, severing historic wildlife migration routes and isolating wildlife populations. At the same time, road construction and an increasing number of cars on our roadways are making transportation corridors more hazardous for people and wildlife. This course will provide an opportunity for transportation and conservation professionals to learn about the planning, design, construction, and monitoring of functional wildlife crossing structures in Colorado and nationwide. This class will bring together individuals with various levels of engineering, biological and transportation expertise to facilitate interdisciplinary communication that will translate into effective on-the-job project collaboration. Level I of the course provides a solid foundation through classroom lectures, discussion and coursework, and sets the stage for the next level of the course, which involves more in-depth study through case studies and field assessments.
Transportation and conservation professionals involved in wildlife crossing design, construction and maintenance; individuals studying to be a transportation and conservation professional.
