Copeland South Box Culvert This wildlife passage was installed in 2005-2006 under US Route 95 in Northern Idaho. Named the Copeland passages, these three box culverts are 4 m tall, 7 m wide, and approximately 43 m long. The three box culverts are within 1.5 miles of each other. As of summer 2007, Wayne Wankinnen of Idaho Fish and Game reports many mammals species photographed using these culverts, including bear and moose. The notable exception is Rocky Mountain elk. They have been photographed within 25 meters of a passage but never has one been photographed using one, or the tracks of elk found in the passages. |
Copeland South Entrance This is one of the three Copeland wildlife passages under US 95 in northern Idaho. The passage is 4 m tall, 7 m high, and approximately 43 m long. There were plantings of native vegetation at both entrances of the passage when this picture was taken in summer of 2007. Monitoring program has recorded much wildlife use of the culvert, but no elk have moved through it. A rock wall leads to the passage, and is tied into deer-proof fencing that runs approximately 1/2 mile in each direction from the passage. Animals skittish toward the passage have been using a wildlife path that leads up and over the rock wall, and can also go to the end of the fence. Idaho Transportation Department has plans to add more boulders to the wall to prevent road access. |
Copeland Escape Ramp This rock wall and fencing runs to one of the three Copeland underpasses under Route 95 in Northern Idaho. The fencing gives way to large boulders that abut up to the passage. Man in picture is examining the wildlife path that appears to go from the wildlife area to the road right of way, where elk and other wildlife have learned to jump over the rock wall. Picture taken in summer 2007, Idaho Transportation Department has plans to add more boulders to enlarge the wall so that wildlife are more “encouraged” to use the passage. |
