Project description (English)

The “Shutesville Hill Wildlife Corridor” crosses Route 100 on the Waterbury-Stowe town line and is the only viable connection between the Green Mountains and Worcester Range. It is one of the five most important wildlife crossings in the state and a critical part of an international network of connected forest habitats in the northeast. Protecting this corridor ensures that wildlife will be able to move freely across Route 100 and our region to find suitable habitat over the course of a year, individual lifetimes and generations.
