[PCA] CONFERENCE: NE Transportation & Wildlife Conference (Amherst, MA)

[Olivia Kwong]

Planners, public works and transportation managers, environmental and
natural resource professionals are encouraged to attend the 4th
Northeastern Transportation and Wildlife Conference to be held at the
University of Massachusetts in Amherst on September 12-15, 2010. The
conference theme is "Sustainability in an Uncertain Landscape." The need 
to replace an aging transportation infrastructure and forecast climate
changes, along with increased development pressures poses both new threats
and opportunities to wildlife. This conference will raise the bar by
providing new information and results of new thinking required to ensure
that both wildlife and transportation needs are to be sustained into the
future.

The conference is hosted by the Massachusetts Department of
Transportation-Highway Division, Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game,
Federal Highway Administration, VHB/Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc.,
Kleinfelder/SEA, STV Incorporated, The Nature Conservancy, and Normandeau
Associates, Inc. The conference track sessions include: Planning for
Wildlife, Wildlife Collisions, Road Ecology & Passage, Mapping and
Modeling, and Wildlife Mitigation on Roads, Rails and Airports.

Register before August 27 for the early registration rate. Student and
one-day registrations are available. More details about the conference and
