In honor of the inaugural National Wildlife Crossings Day on Dec. 12—a new annual day to recognizing the importance of connected pathways for wildlife along American roadways—Phil Hardberger Park Conservancy is celebrating the Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge’s 5th anniversary.
The details
According to a news release, The Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge, which opened in 2020, is one of the largest mixed-use wildlife crossings in the United States. Designed to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions, the land bridge creates a safe crossing between natural habitats divided by Wurzbach Parkway.
Since its opening, the land bridge wildlife cameras have captured multiple species of wildlife utilizing the crossing, including bobcats, coyotes, foxes, white-tailed deer, raccoons, skunks and opossums.
