Appalachian Corridor is proud to have contributed to the installation of a crossing structure for turtles and other small animals on the section of Route 245 that crosses Peasley Pond in Bolton-Est in partnership with Quebec\u2019s minist\u00e8re des Transports, de la Mobilit\u00e9 durable et de l\u2019\u00c9lectrification des transports (MTMDET) and minist\u00e8re de la Faune, des For\u00eats et des Parcs (MFFP). This is the first crossing of its kind developed by the MTMDET in Quebec. This area had been documented by Appalachian Corridor as a hotspot for turtle collisions, including species listed as threatened in Quebec or Canada. “As a community, we can be proud to be the first in Quebec to set up wildlife crossings like these. The installation of this crossing is a major achievement for the recovery of turtle populations. We warmly thank the MTMDET for agreeing to collaborate on this outstanding innovative project,\u201d said M\u00e9lanie Leli\u00e8vre, Executive Director of Appalachian Corridor. Fences were installed on both sides of the road to direct turtles towards the crossing. The MTMDET took advantage of a scheduled culvert rehabilitation to integrate this wildlife passage with the road infrastructure.
