WILDLIFE CONSIDERATIONS IN PLANNING AND MANAGING HIGHWAY CORRIDORS

The manual serves as a guide and information source for biologists, environmental specialists, and highway personnel concerned with route selection, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the Nation's highways. The manual serves as an information source on highway-wildlife relationships and effects; provides information sources and "how to" guidance for inventorying wildlife populations, assessing environmental impacts, and evaluating habitat; suggests ways of incorporating wildlife values into highway planning; and offers suggestions for managing wildlife populations within the highway right-of-way. The manual is organized to facilitate location of specific topics. (FHWA)
