[My note: Yes, you read that right. 87% of the frogs and toads seen on the road were DOR (dead on the road). Argh!! Kind of points to why studying road ecology is relevant, doesn't it?!]

I like the final statement in the document:

"We recommend this exercise to anyone who lives near a road."

Well, that's just about all of us, isn't it? Just think of what we might learn by studying the roads around our own homes. I have done a little of this around my own area, but not in any methodical way. I mean to rectify that situation this season while at my place at Round Hill.

By the way, if you go to check out Fred and Aleta's document - it's a quick read with many photos and graphs - you'll find quite a number of my photos of frogs and turtles interspersed with the text. I'd sort of forgotten about that. Nice to see them included in such a useful document. Please do read it if you have a few minutes.

** Note:   Fred Schueler is a member of NatureNS, so if you have questions about road ecology study, I’m sure he would be available to reply.
