Wildlife Corridors

Map of wildlife corridors.

As you face inland, you'll see several ridges rising up beyond the highway. These areas are GGNRA lands, Milagra Ridge, Rancho Corral de Tierra and Sweeney Ridge, the latter of which shares a border with Mori Point. Route 1 however, presents a serious impediment in getting from one to the other, especially for wildlife.

Animal friends don't see land the same way people do, they tend to think they can walk anywhere they please, unaware of hazards like speeding cars. For this reason, GGNRA and its partners are installing wildlife corridors, tunnels that allow mammals with large territories like mountain lions, grey foxes, bobcats and coyotes to get from one park land to another by safely avoiding highways.
