It is an interesting proposal. How would you manage the problem of giving places to the species you connect and how would you solve the problem of legal rules that might not give you the opportunity to achieve your goal? Best.

Great questions, sergiopena! Our goal is to work with existing land-holding stakeholders that are interested in having native and habitat-promoting trees planted on their property. There are already many examples of these types of efforts: groups that plant native trees as street trees in cities, university campuses interested in maintaining connectivity (both ecological and historical) to their surrounding landscapes, etc. We would seek permission from and work with public entities such as state Department of Transportation administrations, who control the vegetated spaces along road sides, and private entities such as universities and corporations with large campuses. Does this answer your questions? Thanks!

Hi,
certainly an interesting project, also because it is taken not for granted the knowledge on green corridors. The idea to collaborate on a project on standard green corridors seems to me quite new.
Is it? I propose, therefore, to articulate best the part about the actions to be taken, also to give a business plan costs that is missing here. The part relating to costs is very skimpy. Best wishes

Thanks carolinacollaro. I'm not aware of any other proposals to use green corridors for climate change adaptation biodiversity-migration routes, which is part of what makes me really excited about this! I've added some more details on the costs--your suggestions are great and very much appreciated!
